male princess
Chapter 40
Yes, the chill slowly seeped through his clothes, he bit his lower lip and clenched his fists, he thought Xi Yincang would have a way.
Not long after, the guard who had just left came back, bowed in front of the door and reported, "My lord, it's just a cat."
"Well, go down and be alert."
The two returned to their original seats and kept safe, but instead of just looking outside like before, the two glanced around from time to time.
Zhi Luo obediently lay down for another cup of tea, then carefully looked around, took advantage of the gap when the guard turned his head, and used the vegetation and flowers to avoid the secret whistle that he had been optimistic about before, and dodged back to the big tree.Xi Yincang gently embraced him, and shook his cold hand, Zhi Luo felt at ease.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to retreat, Xi Yincang didn't dare to stay longer, until they were completely far away, then stopped in a place where no one was around, watching Zhiluo covered in mud, some places It was still wet by the unmelted snow, and he was in a mess, but his face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were bright.
Xi Yincang rubbed Zhiluo's messy hair, his face was distressed and proud: "Is it frozen? Qingyang went to find Artest, and the carriage will be here soon." Xi Yincang covered it with his big hand Zhiluo's cheeks made him warm and warm: "Are you scared? Hehe, Luo'er is very good at learning Qinggong."
Zhi Luo's face was even happier, and he said happily: "It's so exciting, I'm so nervous, I know that even if I'm found, you will definitely save me. Yincang, am I also very good, hehe. Wait. , let me pee first"
Zhi Luo took Xi Yincang's hand away, turned around hurriedly and walked to the corner, lifted up her robe to solve the problem.
Xi Yincang looked at him from behind, he couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, Qingyang followed Artest and drove over in the carriage, Zhiluo finished, put up his trousers and ran back, Xi Yincang pulled Zhiluo into the carriage and ordered him to return home.
"Yincang, did you cause the movement on the wall just now?" Zhi Luo asked while holding the hand stove that Xi Yincang stuffed over.
Xi Yincang smiled: "It's Han Ye, I greeted them secretly, he was outside to take care of them, listening to the movement in the yard to create some confusion and lure people away."
Zhi Luo nodded, suddenly thought of something, and quickly whispered: "Yin Cang, I saw that man, he has a scar on his face, from the forehead to the eyes, he looks so fierce, originally It looks pretty good, the eye sockets are deep, and the outline is very clear," Zhi Luo said while gesticulating on her face.
Xi Yincang's eyes turned cold: "It really is him."
"Who is it?" Zhi Luo leaned closer and asked quietly, seeing Xi Yincang's expression, could it be his enemy.
Xi Yin said lightly: "Che
The fourth prince of the Yue Kingdom, I was my opponent with him before the two countries fought. After five years of stalemate, we finally reached a peaceful agreement and did not invade each other. "Xi Yincang's eyes were far away, and he seemed to recall the days before: "He is also a rare talent, but now he has come here quietly, and he must have a plan. "
Zhiluo knows that there are three relatively large countries here, which are similar to the meaning of tripartite confrontation. The country of Yun they are in is to the south, and the country of Lu is in the northwest. The relationship between the two countries is relatively good.There is also Che Yueguo. The two countries have been at war before, and it stopped last year. Now General Zuo is stationed in the border town.
Hearing what Xi Yincang said, Zhi Luo was startled: "Yincang, he said he had an appointment, could it be that someone is colluding with foreign enemies?" This is a big event.
Xi Yincang shook his hand and said: "Go back first, and find a way to investigate clearly."
After Xi Yincang returned to the mansion, he went to the study room, wrote a letter and sent it to Ming Jin, hoping to find out some news from the Xiaoyao Pavilion, and it is best to know where and who he is going to meet.Then he called Long Yuan over again, told him the address of the yard just now, and asked him to lead someone to spy on him.
"Don't get too close, so as not to overwhelm the enemy. The people he brought must not be mediocre, so don't be careless." Xi Yincang warned in a deep voice.
Long Yuan nodded earnestly, turned and left.
At this moment, Zhi Luo, who had been sitting on the sidelines in a daze, suddenly sat up agitatedly: "I remembered."
Xi Yincang was startled by him, walked over a few steps and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhi Luo clenched her fist and tapped on the palm of her hand, and said: "Yincang, I remembered, the figure following behind the fourth prince just now seems to be the one who attacked in the hot spring that night."
"Are you sure?" Xi Yincang was a little surprised, and quickly confirmed with Zhi Luo.
Zhi Luo frowned and thought for a while, then said to her fingers: "At that time, that figure ran away in a flash. I took a quick look to avoid the dart. At that time, it was foggy over there. But when I saw that figure today The back view feels familiar, and I have an intuition that it is very likely to be a person, but I am not sure."
Xi Yincang nodded, if that's the case, could it be that the person came for him, it shouldn't be.There must be another conspiracy.He lowered his head and looked at Zhi Luo: "Go back and wash first, you're all dirty, don't freeze. Stay in the mansion these days, and wait for news from over there. Be careful in everything."
Looking at Xi Yincang's expression, Zhi Luo knew that things might not be simple.He pursed his lips: "Yincang, don't worry, I will be careful." It has been quiet for half a year, is it going to start again?
Jin held the letter sent by Xi Yincang, and couldn't help frowning slightly. He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Mo Xuan beside him and said, "Xuan'er, go to the pavilion." Xuan approached and gave instructions in a low voice, Mo Xuan nodded, and silently memorized it in his heart, just as he was about to say something, the voice of the housekeeper Shi Rui sounded outside
"Master."
"Come in." Ming Jin said lightly, pinched Mo Xuan's face lightly with his fingers, and signaled him to go first with his eyes.
Mo Xuan opened the door and let the butler come in.
That is to go to work.
Shi Rui saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, the big wedding will be in three days, and now everything is ready, I need to tell you about the process and what to do. And there is..."
Ming Jin was still wearing black robes, sitting at the table with his chin propped on one hand, his face calm and calm, neither happy nor angry, he quietly listened to the butler's report, and then said: "Yes, I see. I Have you sent all the gift lists for the guests you said you want to add?"
"Go back to the young master and send it." Shi Rui said quickly, thinking: The list drawn up by the master is basically his colleagues in the court, and most of them have a good relationship with the master.Unexpectedly, the young master added a lot of people, not only those from the imperial court, but also many rich merchants from the middle of the capital. I don't know when I made friends.
Ming Jin nodded slightly, and suddenly said with a smile that was not a smile: "Butler Shi has been in the Hou Mansion for many years, and you naturally know more about the affairs of the mansion than I do. I can rest assured that you are doing things. There is nothing else, just follow the arrangement just said .”
Shi Rui's heart broke, and he quickly bowed: "Young master is serious. Shi Rui is just doing things with all his heart, and he should do everything. As long as the young master is satisfied, if you have other orders, just explain to the servant."
Ming Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his voice remained unchanged: "Well, not for the time being. I heard that Madam is not in good health recently, so I don't need Madam to worry about these matters, just tell me if you have anything else, and wait With the young lady entering the door, someone will be able to share the burden for the lady. Seeing that Zhixi and Zhishan are not too young, maybe it won't be long before you have to follow along to help arrange the marriage."
"Yes, yes." The housekeeper didn't know what Mingjin's words meant, so he could only say yes repeatedly. Seeing that Mingjin waved his hand, he quickly backed out, exhaled lightly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
☆, Ming Jin married
Yu was lying on the bed with a haggard face. Every night she had nightmares again and again, and she didn't know what happened. She chanted scriptures and Buddha every day, but it was of no use at all.At this time Chunlan came in through the curtain, holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand, she walked to the bedside and said softly: "Madam, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."
Mrs. Yu sat up, took the medicine bowl, and complained: "What a quack doctor, drinking this medicine every day has no effect at all." As she spoke, she became even more irritable, and handed the medicine bowl back: "Forget it, Stop drinking."
"Ma'am, it's better to drink it. It's okay if you don't drink the medicine." Chunlan was a little worried, and persuaded her.
Yu frowned and waved his hands: "Let's put it aside for now. If it works, it will work anyway. I don't think it's just bad for eating. I have more nightmares these days, and my mind is even more restless." , Mrs. Yu was startled suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Chunlan's arm: "Chunlan, this doctor didn't come to our yard to see a doctor before, who found him?"
"Ma'am, what's the matter? The imperial physician from the palace was specially invited by the master." Chunlan returned.
Mrs. Yu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, quietly, go and invite the person from before to have a look for me. Don't make a fuss, you bring in through the back door."
Chunlan was a little puzzled, but she still nodded her head. Seeing that Mrs. Yu refused to take the medicine, she had to turn around and put it aside.
Three days later it will be Ming Jin's big wedding, and the emperor personally bestowed the marriage, the mansion dare not be careless, everyone is busy these few days.Following Yu's orders, Chunlan brought in the doctor who had gone to Xinrui Garden to see a doctor through the back door.The doctor twirled his beard, took Yu Shi's pulse for a long time, then asked about Yu Shi's situation, and after a while he asked, "Can I see the prescription that Madam has been using?"
Yu looked at Chunlan, Chunlan turned around knowingly and took the prescription, and handed it to the old doctor. The old doctor looked puzzled and said, "It's the right medicine for calming the nerves, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Yu frowned: "No problem, nothing is going to get better, and the more I eat, the more irritable I feel."
"Ma'am, you need to relax your mind on weekdays, and don't take everything too seriously. This kind of disease mostly starts from the heart and then affects the body." The old doctor said slowly.
Shi Yu became impatient for a while: "Is there no other way?" Then, Shi Yu suddenly thought of something again, and said to Chunlan: "Chunlan, go and show the doctor the medicine."
Although Chunlan didn't understand what Yu's intention was, she turned around and went to get it, and after a while, she took a pack of unboiled medicine and handed it to the doctor.
The old doctor took it over and opened it to look at it, nodded while looking at it, and suddenly frowned: "Oh, why is there such a thing?"
"What's wrong? But what's wrong?" Shi Yu was startled, and leaned against the bedside and groaned.
The old doctor held a medicine in his hand: "This, this is not in the prescription. If you add this medicine to the prescription, it will be counterproductive. If it is mild, it will make you lose your spirits, if it is serious..." The old doctor thought in his heart Surprised, I suddenly realized that I might be involved in something that I shouldn't be involved in, and I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Sorry, I am troublesome.
Yu's face was tense: "What if it is serious?"
"This, this, I don't know. I don't know much. I really can't understand Madam's illness. Madam should ask another expert." The old doctor said, took his medicine box, and went out. Chunlan stopped her. Didn't stop it either.
Grabbing the edge of the bed with her hands, Yu felt her mouth dry for a while, and she was terrified. She could guess who it was without checking her. She gritted her teeth, and couldn't tell whether she was hating or afraid, but now she was in a state of disarray. Ma, there is no way at all.
Chunlan helped Shi Yu to pass the exam on the bedside. Seeing that her face was not right, she quickly poured a cup of tea and fed it to Shi Yu. Then she cautiously whispered, "Ma'am? Here, you see?"
"Chunlan, come here." Mrs. Yu drank a cup of tea, took a breath, called Chunlan in front of him and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this except you, don't even tell Xia He, you can take the medicine as usual." Bring it over after frying, and tell the outside world that my health is getting worse and worse, and I need to rest well." Yu Shi can only wait for a while, otherwise I am afraid that I will be slaughtered.
"Ma'am, this medicine has been tampered with, why don't you tell the master?"
"Let's not talk about it. Firstly, there is no evidence to know who did the tricks. Secondly, Mingjin got married and was bestowed by the emperor. With my master's temper, I definitely don't want to have any other incidents at this time." Yu Shi shook She shook her head: "Do as I tell you first, and let me think about it." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yu lay down with a troubled look.
Mingjin's marriage was quite lively. Many famous merchants in the imperial court and the capital also arrived. Naturally, Zhi Luo also followed Xi Yincang. Originally, Zhi Luo wanted to find an opportunity to ask him what he planned. , but Ming Jin went in and out, so he didn't have to find a gap.Zhi Luo didn't even see Mo Xuan.He couldn't help feeling a little worried.
The wedding banquet lasted until midnight before slowly dissipating.After Ming Jin gave the order, he walked towards the new house. Halfway there, a figure suddenly appeared. Ming Jin was startled when he heard Zhi Luo calling him, and couldn't help being surprised: "Luo'er What are you messing about? What if you get hurt by me?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a faint smile, "Unexpectedly, Xi Yincang's master is quite capable, and he can teach you like this , so close that I didn't even notice it.
"Hmph, I think you're newlyweds so happy that you've lost your head that you didn't notice me." Luo'er dragged him aside angrily.
After hearing this, Ming Jin smiled, "You've grown up, and you've taken care of your second brother? Are you unhappy that your second brother is getting a wife?"
Zhi Luo was even more unwilling, and said, "Second brother, I know that it is not good for others to interfere with personal feelings. However, I still want to tell you that it is not easy to meet someone who treats you sincerely in your life. The most precious thing in life is not what you can’t get and what you have already lost, but to cherish the moment you live in front of you. You can fight for those things for survival, but if you fight for the most precious things that you have lost, you will have a place to stand on. has no meaning?"
Ming Jin looked at Zhi Luo's serious face with gentle eyes, couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his face, and said leisurely: "Luoerguo
However, when I grow up, I have someone to wait for and cherish. "
"Second brother!" Zhi Luo couldn't help feeling a little anxious
Mingjin suddenly smiled, bright as a flower, bright and proud, like an independent snow lotus, he said softly: "Don't worry, Luo'er, the second brother understands, the second brother will not let him down."
Zhi Luo looked at Ming Jin's smiling face and was stunned. Hearing what he said, he felt relieved and nodded: "Then I'm going back, Yin Cang is waiting for me."
Ming Jin nodded, watching Zhi Luo leave lightly from a corner where there was no one, his eyes were a little distant and misty. Once upon a time, the younger brother whom he protected openly and secretly has become so outstanding now, and he is still so pure and kind , but a little more stable.
Ming Jin shook her head lightly, calmed down, walked to the door of the new room, raised her hand and pushed the door open.The new house was filled with joy, everywhere was glowing red, and the slender figure of the bride was sitting quietly by the bed, peaceful and safe.Ming Jin walked directly to the window, reached out and lifted the hijab.
Fang Ziying looked up at Ming Jin, there was no trace of shyness on her face, but a hint of disgust and anger.
Ming Jin smiled slightly, and she really lived up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital. She saw Fang Ziying's small face was more white and tender against the background of her wedding dress, as beautiful as a distant dai, as beautiful as a star, with a straight nose bridge and cherry lips. Jingtou, the whole person's demeanor is noble and dusty, proud and calm, very similar to Ming Jin.
"Ma'am looks a little unhappy. Could it be that you are tired from tossing around all day?" Ming Jin sat down beside Fang Ziying with a half-smile.
Fang Ziying moved aside, and also raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm not an idiot lady who stays in the boudoir all day long and doesn't know everything. You only marry me because my father is the prime minister. Let's make a deal, if you agree I, I can be your nominal wife, if you don't agree, you will do the funeral for me tomorrow." As Fang Ziying said, he raised his hand, and at some point a hairpin in his hand came to rest on her. Bo neck.
A hint of admiration flashed in Mingjin's eyes: "Hehe, why is Miss Fang doing this? Why don't you just say what you want."
Fang Ziying did not move his hands, and said: "Your goal has been achieved. We have never met before, and there is no relationship. I have always wanted to belong. I can be your wife, but only in the name of husband and wife. .”
Ming Jin raised her eyebrows: "It turns out that in Miss Fang's eyes, I am this kind of person. But since you are married to me, even if you want to belong to me, so what? Do you not marry or only marry a listed wife?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Fang Ziying lowered his voice, his face suddenly darkened.
Ming Jin smiled: "Okay, I promise you." Ming Jin looked at the suppressed joy in Fang Ziying's eyes and said, "I have a condition."
Fang Ziying glared at him and said, "What conditions."
"Well, in this Hou's mansion, you bring me the errand of being the housewife. You will be in charge of the whole house from now on. Naturally, I will take care of it in the end. You can do whatever else you want. Wait for you to take care of the affairs of the Hou's mansion." Get it done for me, and I can let you and your Young Master Yu leave."
"you!
"Fang Ziying's face was full of surprise, and the hand holding the hairpin was a little unsteady: "How do you know..."
"Hehe, of course I know." Ming Jin smiled inscrutablely, "It's true as you said, I married you just to fight for power and profit, it's not fair to you, but your father also married you, didn't you?" Is it?"
Fang Ziying's face was gloomy and lonely, and Ming Jin continued: "I will give you a letter of divorce, but you can't leave until my business is done. Of course, I won't touch you and move you. It's time to make a show."
"Okay, I will do as you say, just don't break your promise." Fang Ziying thought for a while, finally gritted his teeth and agreed, and put down the hairpin in his hand.
Ming Jin got up calmly, and said to the outside in a low voice: "Come in."
At this time, a young man came in from outside, wearing a blue robe and a dark coat, tall, handsome and elegant.He walked two steps quickly, but stood still three steps away from Fang Ziying, looked at her affectionately and said, "Ziying."
Fang Ziying couldn't react in time, as if he couldn't believe his eyes: "Shaoyun? You, why are you here?"
"Ziying, you have been wronged. I will wait for you, and I will marry you the day you regain your freedom." The man said gently but firmly, "Ziying, don't do anything stupid. , no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Fang Ziying's eyes were moist, she pursed her lips, and nodded.
Yu Shaoyun looked at Ming Jin, bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yan, for your fulfillment, Shaoyun will take my leave first."
"It doesn't matter if you stay, I won't spend the night here anyway."
Yu Shaoyun was tempted for a moment, but then shook his head. At this time, Fang Ziying suddenly said: "No, Shaoyun, you can go back first. I haven't received the divorce certificate yet. I am the young lady of the Hou Mansion. You and I In this way, it is not suitable for etiquette."
Ming Jin couldn't help but smiled: "Oh, you really have the same temperament as your father and your brother. You can do whatever you want."
Yu Shaoyun took a deep look at Fang Ziying, turned around and went out, there was already someone outside, leading him away quietly.
The author has something to say: Zhi Luo: I think that although the second brother is doing it for the sake of the situation, but he is like this, is it to abuse him as a punishment?
Mingjin: Are you my real brother?
☆, Ming Jin was injured
Ming Jin made a statement from the inside and outside the room, and also left the room.Arrived in the side compartment.In the room, Mo Xuan was sitting by the bed, looking at the door eagerly, when he saw the door was pushed open, and the figure he was looking forward to came in, his eyes lit up and he stood up.
"Master." Mo Xuan wanted to go forward, but also didn't dare, standing in front of Ming Jin, a little happy, but also wanted to cover up, making him a little at a loss.
Ming Jin walked over and hugged him into his arms: "Well, are you in a hurry?"
"No, no." Mo Xuan said guiltily.
"Xuan'er dared to lie to me? Huh?" Ming Jin raised Mo Xuan's chin and said pretending to be serious, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Mo Xuan's face was a little red, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he said anxiously: "I'm a little anxious, I'm afraid that the master won't come, so I don't dare to think about it, but the more I feel like this, the more... scared I feel"
Ming Jin lowered his head, and kissed Mo Xuan deeply. Fortunately, he still has time. In the future, there will be plenty of time for Mo Xuan's heart to settle down slowly, and he will no longer be so trembling and anxious.Ming Jin let go of Mo Xuan's lips, and said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, as I said, I will only have Xuan'er in my heart from now on, and Xuan'er will always be by my side, no one can replace you. Don't think about it in the future Yes, do you know?"
"Well, Xuan'er understands." Mo Xuan nodded, but he felt much more at ease in his heart, as the master did not stay in the new house.
Ming Jin coaxed Mo Xuan a few more words, then let go of his hand and said, "Go and help me get my clothes, it's time to go."
As soon as Mo Xuan heard that he had to deal with business, he quickly restrained his expression and emotions, went to the box and brought Ming Jin a set of black tight-fitting clothes and a pair of thin silver masks, and helped Ming Jin change into a bright red wedding robe.
It was a cold night, dark and silent, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the sparse stars were dim.Ming Jin took Mo Xuan and flew towards the east of the city, like two bats in the dark night, quickly and silently.In the eastern part of the city, there is a piece of poor people's residences. If they are poor people, they are compared with the prosperous and wealthy households in the capital, and they are not desolate.
The small courtyards are connected together, all of which are single-door courtyards, unlike rich people who have several yards, garden warehouses and the like.Exuding a simple and strong breath of life.The two stopped in a shadow, Mo Xuan's aura changed, like a cheetah, his eyes looked around vigilantly, all the aura in his body was restrained, and after a while, he moved his hand closer He touched his lips, and made two low, animal whimpering sounds.
As soon as the sound stopped, a figure turned over from a tree not far away, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the two of them and knelt down on one knee: "Pavilion Master."
"What's the matter?" Ming Jin's expression could not be seen clearly under the mask, only his mouth was opening and closing.
The man kneeling on the ground said in a very low voice: "There is a person on the other side who is quite skilled in martial arts, we dare not get close, only Guardian Chi Yan tries to get closer."
Ming Jin nodded lightly: "Do you know who you are meeting with?"
"I don't know, the other party is very cautious, wrapped tightly, can't see the face at all, can't hear the voice."
"Go, keep guarding, and prepare for it.
. "Ming Jin ordered lightly, and the man dodged back to hide again.
Ming Jin thought about it, he suspected that the person who met this meeting was very likely to be Xi Haochen, but he was not sure, no matter what he said, he was still the prince, no matter how much he wanted to fight for the position, he would not be able to take such a big risk to collude with foreign enemies. .Ming Jin stretched out his hand for a while, still keeping a calm face, paying attention to Mo Xuan who was around: "Xuan'er, let's go."
The two sneaked into the small courtyard that they had explored before, and sure enough, there were still three or four houses away, and there were many secret sentries guarding them. Ming Jin and Mo Xuan did not dare to be careless, and it took a lot of effort to get there Under the courtyard wall.Just as Ming Jin was about to give Mo Xuan a signal, he rolled over and went inside, when suddenly there was movement in the yard, followed by the sound of fighting.Ming Jin said inwardly that it was not good, Chi Yan must have been discovered.
Mo Xuan remained expressionless and motionless, waiting for Ming Jin's order.Ming Jin listened for a while, but there was no sound of speaking or shouting at all except for the sound of fighting.Ming Jin gave Mo Xuan a look, Mo Xuan nodded, pulled out a dagger from his waist, turned over, and climbed up the wall like a cat, exuding a condensed and dead breath.
Mo Xuan took a quick glance, and sure enough, he saw Chi Yan surrounded by three people fighting together, apparently injured.He didn't hesitate any more, he rushed over with a light body, and the dagger directly cut the throat of one of them.The fighting circle became chaotic, and the opponents were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Mo Xuan.However, the guards in various dark places in the yard did not take any action, obviously well-trained and prohibited.
Taking advantage of Mo Xuan's intrusion into the chaotic space, Ming Jin also turned over and entered the yard. He was not in a hurry to make a move. He found a hidden place to hide his figure, first looked at the two sides fighting, and saw that Mo Xuan could handle it temporarily Only then did he quickly look around, not counting the guards in the dark outside, there were still five people hiding in the yard, and three of them fought against Mo Xuan and Chi Yan, and at this time, there was one person standing in front of the door, 50 He is many years old, with gray hair and beard, drooping eyelids, and looks like he is about to fall asleep.
At this time, Mo Xuan's figure flashed, he cut the throat of one of them at a strange angle, turned around and attacked the other without stopping for a second.Chi Yan dealt with one, although he was injured, it was not a problem to hold the opponent or try to escape.At this moment, the old man standing on the steps suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, his whole feeling changed, his eyes flashed brightly, and he stared at Mo Xuan tightly like an eagle. He didn't know how he moved, as if As if teleporting, the man fell in front of the fighting people, and he stretched out a hand like a stick from under his wide sleeves, and grabbed Mo Xuan.
The moment the old man opened his eyes, Ming Jin felt uneasy, and couldn't care about anything else, so he rushed out. Almost at the same time as the old man stretched out his hand, he just reached Mo Xuan's side, and when he stretched out his hand, he happened to be facing the old man. together.Ming Jin was startled, his whole body went numb, his body backed up uncontrollably, his throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood overflowed from his mouth.
The old man also had a look of surprise on his face, waving his sleeve robe, and retreated endlessly, until he retreated to the steps again.
Mo Xuan's eyes as calm as water and as cold as ice suddenly panicked, forcing the person who was fighting with him back, and jumped to Ming Jin's side
, Mingjin didn't take him to say anything, grabbed him, got up and ran outside, and at the same time turned around and told Chi Yan: "Go!"
Chi Yan got rid of the entanglement and followed closely.
The three of them zipped across and left the courtyard in the blink of an eye. They didn't have time to wonder why no one was chasing them, so they went straight back to the Xunfang Pavilion without stopping.
In that yard, the other two fighting saw Ming Jin and the other three jumping over the wall and leaving, they hurriedly asked the old man for instructions: "Old Bai, do you want to chase after him?"
"No need." The old man took a deep breath, suppressed the churning blood, and said with condensed eyebrows: "We have other things here this time, don't compromise your strength because of these, after all, we are in another country, and our number is limited .”
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the man in the black robe with the scar on his face that Zhiluo had glimpsed that day came out: "Grandpa, are you okay? What is this person's identity, he can actually block your old age."
"I don't know either." The old man frowned and shook his head, "I never imagined that such a talent would emerge in less than 20 years. Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
"Hehe, why don't you belittle yourself, Grandpa, you just didn't really make a move." The man smiled, turned around and said, "I'd better send someone to take you back first, it's not easy to stay here for a long time. Be careful."
After the man finished speaking, a figure walked out of the room, wrapped in a wide and thick cloak, only reaching the chin of the man in black, unable to see his face clearly, the clothes were too thick, and his figure could not be seen clearly. What happened, the man nodded slightly at the man in black and the old man, then turned and left, followed by the two people who were fighting in the courtyard just now.
The three of Mingjin returned to the Xunfang Pavilion, and once they entered the room, Mo Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly supported Mingjin to sit down, his eyes were red and his face was pale.Mo Xuan raised his hand to wipe away the blood from Ming Jin's mouth, but Ming Jin coughed twice and spit out another mouthful of blood, Mo Xuan's voice was full of nervousness and fear: "Master, master, how are you?" Ming Jin was knocked back and vomited blood with one move, and the old man wanted to kill himself, and the master was injured only to protect him.
Ming Jin took off the mask, and said calmly: "I'm fine, just now I was shocked by the internal force, and my blood was a little churning. How can I be so unbearable, your master." He was also terrified in his heart. With that palm, Xuan'er might be seriously injured right now.
At this time, Chi Yan also brought Mr. Wei over. Mr. Wei lost his usual frivolity and looked serious: "Pavilion Master, are you injured?"
"Master, I'm going to find Shuran Yelai." Mo Xuan suddenly got up and was about to go out, but was pulled back by Ming Jin, who squeezed his hand, because there were other people around, so it was difficult to talk to him in detail, so he had to He raised his face and said: "I'm fine, Chi Yan, but we can see who is meeting them."
"No, that man is so tightly wrapped that neither a man nor a woman can tell. He is not tall, so he doesn't look like Xi Haochen." Chi Yan's voice was low and his face was expressionless.
Ming Jin nodded: "Old Wei, you take Chi Yan to heal your injuries first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow. Let everyone else disperse, and no further actions are allowed."
Old Wei nodded, and led Chi Yan out.
At this moment, Mo Xuan stopped making a sound, and stared at Ming Jin closely, without blinking.Ming Jin turned around and glared at him: "I've said it all, I'm fine, don't look like I'm dead."
Mo Xuan's face was a little annoyed, and he suddenly hugged Ming Jin: "Master, I don't allow you to have anything to do, even if Xuan'er dies, I don't want the master to get hurt. Master, don't take such risks for Xuan'er. "
Ming Jin's heart softened for a while, he raised his hand to hug Mo Xuan's thin body, his eyes were soft, but he pretended to be angry: "What risk? In your heart, your master and I are so useless? Fight, I can't beat that old thing, but it's not so easy for him to kill me."
Mo Xuan remained silent, hugging Ming Jin even tighter.
Ming Jin sighed, patted Mo Xuan on the back lightly, and comforted him: "I know it myself, it's fine, it's fine. We can't delay too long, we have to rush back to the Hou's Mansion before dawn."
Only then did Mo Xuan come out of Ming Jin's arms, with a firm face on his face: "Master, Xuan'er must work hard, and Xuan'er will protect the master in the future."
Ming Jin looked at him, and suddenly smiled, with a bright and warm smile, nodded at Mo Xuan, and reached out to rub his cheek.
☆, Pretending to be a waitress
When Ming Jin and Mo Xuan went back, it was already dawn.Ming Jin asked Mo Xuan to go back to his room, and he quietly entered through the window.Fang Zi slept on the bed in her clothes, Ming Jin sat on the chair, closed her eyes and adjusted her breath for a while, listening to the movement on the bed, and then opened her eyes.
Fang Ziying was a little surprised, she didn't know when this person came in, she had a look of vigilance on her face: "Didn't you say that nothing would happen? Why did you come back to my room again?"
"This is also my room, you can't let the people in the house watch me go out from another room on the wedding night." Ming Jin gave her a flat look, got up and went behind the screen to change clothes.
Fang Ziying was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. He waited for Ming Jin to change into the court clothes and come out, before he said, "Since you want me to work, tell me what's going on in this house anyway."
"I have to go to the morning court. You can ask the people in the courtyard about the matter in this mansion. The people in this courtyard are all my people." Ming Jin straightened his robe and said, "Go to sleep for a while, what's the matter?" If you need it, call the girl outside." After speaking, she walked out, leaving Fang Ziying there alone in a daze.
Fang Ziying didn't know whether it was annoyed or helpless, but thinking about Yu Shaoyun who was waiting for her, she had no choice but to accept her fate and temporarily listen to Mingjin's orders, hoping that after everything was over, she would be free and live the life she wanted.
Ming Jin watched everyone carefully, but still had no clue, especially the third prince, whose face was as deep as water, and covered his edge for more than half a year, keeping a low profile and quiet.Ming Jin frowned, then gave Xi Yincang a secret wink, and said, "See you at Xunfang Hall tonight."
Xi Yincang went back to the palace first, he sent Long Yuan out, but found nothing at all, presumably Ming Jin's people must have gained something, what he didn't know was that Ming Jin went there personally, and suffered a loss.
Xi Yincang had just returned to the mansion, and went through the garden to the main courtyard. Afterwards, his boss chased after him, walked to Xi Yincang's side and reported in a low voice: "My lord, He Cheng is dead."
"Oh?" Xi Yincang stopped in his tracks: "When? Is there any other news?"
"The one who died five days ago was the day when the lord and the concubine visited the four princes of Yeguo at night." Zixun replied: "
Not long after, the guard who had just left came back, bowed in front of the door and reported, "My lord, it's just a cat."
"Well, go down and be alert."
The two returned to their original seats and kept safe, but instead of just looking outside like before, the two glanced around from time to time.
Zhi Luo obediently lay down for another cup of tea, then carefully looked around, took advantage of the gap when the guard turned his head, and used the vegetation and flowers to avoid the secret whistle that he had been optimistic about before, and dodged back to the big tree.Xi Yincang gently embraced him, and shook his cold hand, Zhi Luo felt at ease.
It took a lot of effort for the two of them to retreat, Xi Yincang didn't dare to stay longer, until they were completely far away, then stopped in a place where no one was around, watching Zhiluo covered in mud, some places It was still wet by the unmelted snow, and he was in a mess, but his face was flushed with excitement, and his eyes were bright.
Xi Yincang rubbed Zhiluo's messy hair, his face was distressed and proud: "Is it frozen? Qingyang went to find Artest, and the carriage will be here soon." Xi Yincang covered it with his big hand Zhiluo's cheeks made him warm and warm: "Are you scared? Hehe, Luo'er is very good at learning Qinggong."
Zhi Luo's face was even happier, and he said happily: "It's so exciting, I'm so nervous, I know that even if I'm found, you will definitely save me. Yincang, am I also very good, hehe. Wait. , let me pee first"
Zhi Luo took Xi Yincang's hand away, turned around hurriedly and walked to the corner, lifted up her robe to solve the problem.
Xi Yincang looked at him from behind, he couldn't laugh or cry.
At this time, Qingyang followed Artest and drove over in the carriage, Zhiluo finished, put up his trousers and ran back, Xi Yincang pulled Zhiluo into the carriage and ordered him to return home.
"Yincang, did you cause the movement on the wall just now?" Zhi Luo asked while holding the hand stove that Xi Yincang stuffed over.
Xi Yincang smiled: "It's Han Ye, I greeted them secretly, he was outside to take care of them, listening to the movement in the yard to create some confusion and lure people away."
Zhi Luo nodded, suddenly thought of something, and quickly whispered: "Yin Cang, I saw that man, he has a scar on his face, from the forehead to the eyes, he looks so fierce, originally It looks pretty good, the eye sockets are deep, and the outline is very clear," Zhi Luo said while gesticulating on her face.
Xi Yincang's eyes turned cold: "It really is him."
"Who is it?" Zhi Luo leaned closer and asked quietly, seeing Xi Yincang's expression, could it be his enemy.
Xi Yin said lightly: "Che
The fourth prince of the Yue Kingdom, I was my opponent with him before the two countries fought. After five years of stalemate, we finally reached a peaceful agreement and did not invade each other. "Xi Yincang's eyes were far away, and he seemed to recall the days before: "He is also a rare talent, but now he has come here quietly, and he must have a plan. "
Zhiluo knows that there are three relatively large countries here, which are similar to the meaning of tripartite confrontation. The country of Yun they are in is to the south, and the country of Lu is in the northwest. The relationship between the two countries is relatively good.There is also Che Yueguo. The two countries have been at war before, and it stopped last year. Now General Zuo is stationed in the border town.
Hearing what Xi Yincang said, Zhi Luo was startled: "Yincang, he said he had an appointment, could it be that someone is colluding with foreign enemies?" This is a big event.
Xi Yincang shook his hand and said: "Go back first, and find a way to investigate clearly."
After Xi Yincang returned to the mansion, he went to the study room, wrote a letter and sent it to Ming Jin, hoping to find out some news from the Xiaoyao Pavilion, and it is best to know where and who he is going to meet.Then he called Long Yuan over again, told him the address of the yard just now, and asked him to lead someone to spy on him.
"Don't get too close, so as not to overwhelm the enemy. The people he brought must not be mediocre, so don't be careless." Xi Yincang warned in a deep voice.
Long Yuan nodded earnestly, turned and left.
At this moment, Zhi Luo, who had been sitting on the sidelines in a daze, suddenly sat up agitatedly: "I remembered."
Xi Yincang was startled by him, walked over a few steps and asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhi Luo clenched her fist and tapped on the palm of her hand, and said: "Yincang, I remembered, the figure following behind the fourth prince just now seems to be the one who attacked in the hot spring that night."
"Are you sure?" Xi Yincang was a little surprised, and quickly confirmed with Zhi Luo.
Zhi Luo frowned and thought for a while, then said to her fingers: "At that time, that figure ran away in a flash. I took a quick look to avoid the dart. At that time, it was foggy over there. But when I saw that figure today The back view feels familiar, and I have an intuition that it is very likely to be a person, but I am not sure."
Xi Yincang nodded, if that's the case, could it be that the person came for him, it shouldn't be.There must be another conspiracy.He lowered his head and looked at Zhi Luo: "Go back and wash first, you're all dirty, don't freeze. Stay in the mansion these days, and wait for news from over there. Be careful in everything."
Looking at Xi Yincang's expression, Zhi Luo knew that things might not be simple.He pursed his lips: "Yincang, don't worry, I will be careful." It has been quiet for half a year, is it going to start again?
Jin held the letter sent by Xi Yincang, and couldn't help frowning slightly. He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Mo Xuan beside him and said, "Xuan'er, go to the pavilion." Xuan approached and gave instructions in a low voice, Mo Xuan nodded, and silently memorized it in his heart, just as he was about to say something, the voice of the housekeeper Shi Rui sounded outside
"Master."
"Come in." Ming Jin said lightly, pinched Mo Xuan's face lightly with his fingers, and signaled him to go first with his eyes.
Mo Xuan opened the door and let the butler come in.
That is to go to work.
Shi Rui saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, the big wedding will be in three days, and now everything is ready, I need to tell you about the process and what to do. And there is..."
Ming Jin was still wearing black robes, sitting at the table with his chin propped on one hand, his face calm and calm, neither happy nor angry, he quietly listened to the butler's report, and then said: "Yes, I see. I Have you sent all the gift lists for the guests you said you want to add?"
"Go back to the young master and send it." Shi Rui said quickly, thinking: The list drawn up by the master is basically his colleagues in the court, and most of them have a good relationship with the master.Unexpectedly, the young master added a lot of people, not only those from the imperial court, but also many rich merchants from the middle of the capital. I don't know when I made friends.
Ming Jin nodded slightly, and suddenly said with a smile that was not a smile: "Butler Shi has been in the Hou Mansion for many years, and you naturally know more about the affairs of the mansion than I do. I can rest assured that you are doing things. There is nothing else, just follow the arrangement just said .”
Shi Rui's heart broke, and he quickly bowed: "Young master is serious. Shi Rui is just doing things with all his heart, and he should do everything. As long as the young master is satisfied, if you have other orders, just explain to the servant."
Ming Jin raised his eyelids and glanced at him, his voice remained unchanged: "Well, not for the time being. I heard that Madam is not in good health recently, so I don't need Madam to worry about these matters, just tell me if you have anything else, and wait With the young lady entering the door, someone will be able to share the burden for the lady. Seeing that Zhixi and Zhishan are not too young, maybe it won't be long before you have to follow along to help arrange the marriage."
"Yes, yes." The housekeeper didn't know what Mingjin's words meant, so he could only say yes repeatedly. Seeing that Mingjin waved his hand, he quickly backed out, exhaled lightly, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
☆, Ming Jin married
Yu was lying on the bed with a haggard face. Every night she had nightmares again and again, and she didn't know what happened. She chanted scriptures and Buddha every day, but it was of no use at all.At this time Chunlan came in through the curtain, holding a bowl of hot soup in her hand, she walked to the bedside and said softly: "Madam, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."
Mrs. Yu sat up, took the medicine bowl, and complained: "What a quack doctor, drinking this medicine every day has no effect at all." As she spoke, she became even more irritable, and handed the medicine bowl back: "Forget it, Stop drinking."
"Ma'am, it's better to drink it. It's okay if you don't drink the medicine." Chunlan was a little worried, and persuaded her.
Yu frowned and waved his hands: "Let's put it aside for now. If it works, it will work anyway. I don't think it's just bad for eating. I have more nightmares these days, and my mind is even more restless." , Mrs. Yu was startled suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Chunlan's arm: "Chunlan, this doctor didn't come to our yard to see a doctor before, who found him?"
"Ma'am, what's the matter? The imperial physician from the palace was specially invited by the master." Chunlan returned.
Mrs. Yu thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, quietly, go and invite the person from before to have a look for me. Don't make a fuss, you bring in through the back door."
Chunlan was a little puzzled, but she still nodded her head. Seeing that Mrs. Yu refused to take the medicine, she had to turn around and put it aside.
Three days later it will be Ming Jin's big wedding, and the emperor personally bestowed the marriage, the mansion dare not be careless, everyone is busy these few days.Following Yu's orders, Chunlan brought in the doctor who had gone to Xinrui Garden to see a doctor through the back door.The doctor twirled his beard, took Yu Shi's pulse for a long time, then asked about Yu Shi's situation, and after a while he asked, "Can I see the prescription that Madam has been using?"
Yu looked at Chunlan, Chunlan turned around knowingly and took the prescription, and handed it to the old doctor. The old doctor looked puzzled and said, "It's the right medicine for calming the nerves, so there shouldn't be any problem."
Yu frowned: "No problem, nothing is going to get better, and the more I eat, the more irritable I feel."
"Ma'am, you need to relax your mind on weekdays, and don't take everything too seriously. This kind of disease mostly starts from the heart and then affects the body." The old doctor said slowly.
Shi Yu became impatient for a while: "Is there no other way?" Then, Shi Yu suddenly thought of something again, and said to Chunlan: "Chunlan, go and show the doctor the medicine."
Although Chunlan didn't understand what Yu's intention was, she turned around and went to get it, and after a while, she took a pack of unboiled medicine and handed it to the doctor.
The old doctor took it over and opened it to look at it, nodded while looking at it, and suddenly frowned: "Oh, why is there such a thing?"
"What's wrong? But what's wrong?" Shi Yu was startled, and leaned against the bedside and groaned.
The old doctor held a medicine in his hand: "This, this is not in the prescription. If you add this medicine to the prescription, it will be counterproductive. If it is mild, it will make you lose your spirits, if it is serious..." The old doctor thought in his heart Surprised, I suddenly realized that I might be involved in something that I shouldn't be involved in, and I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Sorry, I am troublesome.
Yu's face was tense: "What if it is serious?"
"This, this, I don't know. I don't know much. I really can't understand Madam's illness. Madam should ask another expert." The old doctor said, took his medicine box, and went out. Chunlan stopped her. Didn't stop it either.
Grabbing the edge of the bed with her hands, Yu felt her mouth dry for a while, and she was terrified. She could guess who it was without checking her. She gritted her teeth, and couldn't tell whether she was hating or afraid, but now she was in a state of disarray. Ma, there is no way at all.
Chunlan helped Shi Yu to pass the exam on the bedside. Seeing that her face was not right, she quickly poured a cup of tea and fed it to Shi Yu. Then she cautiously whispered, "Ma'am? Here, you see?"
"Chunlan, come here." Mrs. Yu drank a cup of tea, took a breath, called Chunlan in front of him and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about this except you, don't even tell Xia He, you can take the medicine as usual." Bring it over after frying, and tell the outside world that my health is getting worse and worse, and I need to rest well." Yu Shi can only wait for a while, otherwise I am afraid that I will be slaughtered.
"Ma'am, this medicine has been tampered with, why don't you tell the master?"
"Let's not talk about it. Firstly, there is no evidence to know who did the tricks. Secondly, Mingjin got married and was bestowed by the emperor. With my master's temper, I definitely don't want to have any other incidents at this time." Yu Shi shook She shook her head: "Do as I tell you first, and let me think about it." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yu lay down with a troubled look.
Mingjin's marriage was quite lively. Many famous merchants in the imperial court and the capital also arrived. Naturally, Zhi Luo also followed Xi Yincang. Originally, Zhi Luo wanted to find an opportunity to ask him what he planned. , but Ming Jin went in and out, so he didn't have to find a gap.Zhi Luo didn't even see Mo Xuan.He couldn't help feeling a little worried.
The wedding banquet lasted until midnight before slowly dissipating.After Ming Jin gave the order, he walked towards the new house. Halfway there, a figure suddenly appeared. Ming Jin was startled when he heard Zhi Luo calling him, and couldn't help being surprised: "Luo'er What are you messing about? What if you get hurt by me?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a faint smile, "Unexpectedly, Xi Yincang's master is quite capable, and he can teach you like this , so close that I didn't even notice it.
"Hmph, I think you're newlyweds so happy that you've lost your head that you didn't notice me." Luo'er dragged him aside angrily.
After hearing this, Ming Jin smiled, "You've grown up, and you've taken care of your second brother? Are you unhappy that your second brother is getting a wife?"
Zhi Luo was even more unwilling, and said, "Second brother, I know that it is not good for others to interfere with personal feelings. However, I still want to tell you that it is not easy to meet someone who treats you sincerely in your life. The most precious thing in life is not what you can’t get and what you have already lost, but to cherish the moment you live in front of you. You can fight for those things for survival, but if you fight for the most precious things that you have lost, you will have a place to stand on. has no meaning?"
Ming Jin looked at Zhi Luo's serious face with gentle eyes, couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his face, and said leisurely: "Luoerguo
However, when I grow up, I have someone to wait for and cherish. "
"Second brother!" Zhi Luo couldn't help feeling a little anxious
Mingjin suddenly smiled, bright as a flower, bright and proud, like an independent snow lotus, he said softly: "Don't worry, Luo'er, the second brother understands, the second brother will not let him down."
Zhi Luo looked at Ming Jin's smiling face and was stunned. Hearing what he said, he felt relieved and nodded: "Then I'm going back, Yin Cang is waiting for me."
Ming Jin nodded, watching Zhi Luo leave lightly from a corner where there was no one, his eyes were a little distant and misty. Once upon a time, the younger brother whom he protected openly and secretly has become so outstanding now, and he is still so pure and kind , but a little more stable.
Ming Jin shook her head lightly, calmed down, walked to the door of the new room, raised her hand and pushed the door open.The new house was filled with joy, everywhere was glowing red, and the slender figure of the bride was sitting quietly by the bed, peaceful and safe.Ming Jin walked directly to the window, reached out and lifted the hijab.
Fang Ziying looked up at Ming Jin, there was no trace of shyness on her face, but a hint of disgust and anger.
Ming Jin smiled slightly, and she really lived up to her reputation as the most beautiful woman in the capital. She saw Fang Ziying's small face was more white and tender against the background of her wedding dress, as beautiful as a distant dai, as beautiful as a star, with a straight nose bridge and cherry lips. Jingtou, the whole person's demeanor is noble and dusty, proud and calm, very similar to Ming Jin.
"Ma'am looks a little unhappy. Could it be that you are tired from tossing around all day?" Ming Jin sat down beside Fang Ziying with a half-smile.
Fang Ziying moved aside, and also raised the corners of his mouth: "I'm not an idiot lady who stays in the boudoir all day long and doesn't know everything. You only marry me because my father is the prime minister. Let's make a deal, if you agree I, I can be your nominal wife, if you don't agree, you will do the funeral for me tomorrow." As Fang Ziying said, he raised his hand, and at some point a hairpin in his hand came to rest on her. Bo neck.
A hint of admiration flashed in Mingjin's eyes: "Hehe, why is Miss Fang doing this? Why don't you just say what you want."
Fang Ziying did not move his hands, and said: "Your goal has been achieved. We have never met before, and there is no relationship. I have always wanted to belong. I can be your wife, but only in the name of husband and wife. .”
Ming Jin raised her eyebrows: "It turns out that in Miss Fang's eyes, I am this kind of person. But since you are married to me, even if you want to belong to me, so what? Do you not marry or only marry a listed wife?"
"This has nothing to do with you." Fang Ziying lowered his voice, his face suddenly darkened.
Ming Jin smiled: "Okay, I promise you." Ming Jin looked at the suppressed joy in Fang Ziying's eyes and said, "I have a condition."
Fang Ziying glared at him and said, "What conditions."
"Well, in this Hou's mansion, you bring me the errand of being the housewife. You will be in charge of the whole house from now on. Naturally, I will take care of it in the end. You can do whatever else you want. Wait for you to take care of the affairs of the Hou's mansion." Get it done for me, and I can let you and your Young Master Yu leave."
"you!
"Fang Ziying's face was full of surprise, and the hand holding the hairpin was a little unsteady: "How do you know..."
"Hehe, of course I know." Ming Jin smiled inscrutablely, "It's true as you said, I married you just to fight for power and profit, it's not fair to you, but your father also married you, didn't you?" Is it?"
Fang Ziying's face was gloomy and lonely, and Ming Jin continued: "I will give you a letter of divorce, but you can't leave until my business is done. Of course, I won't touch you and move you. It's time to make a show."
"Okay, I will do as you say, just don't break your promise." Fang Ziying thought for a while, finally gritted his teeth and agreed, and put down the hairpin in his hand.
Ming Jin got up calmly, and said to the outside in a low voice: "Come in."
At this time, a young man came in from outside, wearing a blue robe and a dark coat, tall, handsome and elegant.He walked two steps quickly, but stood still three steps away from Fang Ziying, looked at her affectionately and said, "Ziying."
Fang Ziying couldn't react in time, as if he couldn't believe his eyes: "Shaoyun? You, why are you here?"
"Ziying, you have been wronged. I will wait for you, and I will marry you the day you regain your freedom." The man said gently but firmly, "Ziying, don't do anything stupid. , no matter what happens, I will be with you."
Fang Ziying's eyes were moist, she pursed her lips, and nodded.
Yu Shaoyun looked at Ming Jin, bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yan, for your fulfillment, Shaoyun will take my leave first."
"It doesn't matter if you stay, I won't spend the night here anyway."
Yu Shaoyun was tempted for a moment, but then shook his head. At this time, Fang Ziying suddenly said: "No, Shaoyun, you can go back first. I haven't received the divorce certificate yet. I am the young lady of the Hou Mansion. You and I In this way, it is not suitable for etiquette."
Ming Jin couldn't help but smiled: "Oh, you really have the same temperament as your father and your brother. You can do whatever you want."
Yu Shaoyun took a deep look at Fang Ziying, turned around and went out, there was already someone outside, leading him away quietly.
The author has something to say: Zhi Luo: I think that although the second brother is doing it for the sake of the situation, but he is like this, is it to abuse him as a punishment?
Mingjin: Are you my real brother?
☆, Ming Jin was injured
Ming Jin made a statement from the inside and outside the room, and also left the room.Arrived in the side compartment.In the room, Mo Xuan was sitting by the bed, looking at the door eagerly, when he saw the door was pushed open, and the figure he was looking forward to came in, his eyes lit up and he stood up.
"Master." Mo Xuan wanted to go forward, but also didn't dare, standing in front of Ming Jin, a little happy, but also wanted to cover up, making him a little at a loss.
Ming Jin walked over and hugged him into his arms: "Well, are you in a hurry?"
"No, no." Mo Xuan said guiltily.
"Xuan'er dared to lie to me? Huh?" Ming Jin raised Mo Xuan's chin and said pretending to be serious, but his eyes were full of smiles.
Mo Xuan's face was a little red, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he said anxiously: "I'm a little anxious, I'm afraid that the master won't come, so I don't dare to think about it, but the more I feel like this, the more... scared I feel"
Ming Jin lowered his head, and kissed Mo Xuan deeply. Fortunately, he still has time. In the future, there will be plenty of time for Mo Xuan's heart to settle down slowly, and he will no longer be so trembling and anxious.Ming Jin let go of Mo Xuan's lips, and said in a low voice: "Xuan'er, as I said, I will only have Xuan'er in my heart from now on, and Xuan'er will always be by my side, no one can replace you. Don't think about it in the future Yes, do you know?"
"Well, Xuan'er understands." Mo Xuan nodded, but he felt much more at ease in his heart, as the master did not stay in the new house.
Ming Jin coaxed Mo Xuan a few more words, then let go of his hand and said, "Go and help me get my clothes, it's time to go."
As soon as Mo Xuan heard that he had to deal with business, he quickly restrained his expression and emotions, went to the box and brought Ming Jin a set of black tight-fitting clothes and a pair of thin silver masks, and helped Ming Jin change into a bright red wedding robe.
It was a cold night, dark and silent, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the sparse stars were dim.Ming Jin took Mo Xuan and flew towards the east of the city, like two bats in the dark night, quickly and silently.In the eastern part of the city, there is a piece of poor people's residences. If they are poor people, they are compared with the prosperous and wealthy households in the capital, and they are not desolate.
The small courtyards are connected together, all of which are single-door courtyards, unlike rich people who have several yards, garden warehouses and the like.Exuding a simple and strong breath of life.The two stopped in a shadow, Mo Xuan's aura changed, like a cheetah, his eyes looked around vigilantly, all the aura in his body was restrained, and after a while, he moved his hand closer He touched his lips, and made two low, animal whimpering sounds.
As soon as the sound stopped, a figure turned over from a tree not far away, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the two of them and knelt down on one knee: "Pavilion Master."
"What's the matter?" Ming Jin's expression could not be seen clearly under the mask, only his mouth was opening and closing.
The man kneeling on the ground said in a very low voice: "There is a person on the other side who is quite skilled in martial arts, we dare not get close, only Guardian Chi Yan tries to get closer."
Ming Jin nodded lightly: "Do you know who you are meeting with?"
"I don't know, the other party is very cautious, wrapped tightly, can't see the face at all, can't hear the voice."
"Go, keep guarding, and prepare for it.
. "Ming Jin ordered lightly, and the man dodged back to hide again.
Ming Jin thought about it, he suspected that the person who met this meeting was very likely to be Xi Haochen, but he was not sure, no matter what he said, he was still the prince, no matter how much he wanted to fight for the position, he would not be able to take such a big risk to collude with foreign enemies. .Ming Jin stretched out his hand for a while, still keeping a calm face, paying attention to Mo Xuan who was around: "Xuan'er, let's go."
The two sneaked into the small courtyard that they had explored before, and sure enough, there were still three or four houses away, and there were many secret sentries guarding them. Ming Jin and Mo Xuan did not dare to be careless, and it took a lot of effort to get there Under the courtyard wall.Just as Ming Jin was about to give Mo Xuan a signal, he rolled over and went inside, when suddenly there was movement in the yard, followed by the sound of fighting.Ming Jin said inwardly that it was not good, Chi Yan must have been discovered.
Mo Xuan remained expressionless and motionless, waiting for Ming Jin's order.Ming Jin listened for a while, but there was no sound of speaking or shouting at all except for the sound of fighting.Ming Jin gave Mo Xuan a look, Mo Xuan nodded, pulled out a dagger from his waist, turned over, and climbed up the wall like a cat, exuding a condensed and dead breath.
Mo Xuan took a quick glance, and sure enough, he saw Chi Yan surrounded by three people fighting together, apparently injured.He didn't hesitate any more, he rushed over with a light body, and the dagger directly cut the throat of one of them.The fighting circle became chaotic, and the opponents were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Mo Xuan.However, the guards in various dark places in the yard did not take any action, obviously well-trained and prohibited.
Taking advantage of Mo Xuan's intrusion into the chaotic space, Ming Jin also turned over and entered the yard. He was not in a hurry to make a move. He found a hidden place to hide his figure, first looked at the two sides fighting, and saw that Mo Xuan could handle it temporarily Only then did he quickly look around, not counting the guards in the dark outside, there were still five people hiding in the yard, and three of them fought against Mo Xuan and Chi Yan, and at this time, there was one person standing in front of the door, 50 He is many years old, with gray hair and beard, drooping eyelids, and looks like he is about to fall asleep.
At this time, Mo Xuan's figure flashed, he cut the throat of one of them at a strange angle, turned around and attacked the other without stopping for a second.Chi Yan dealt with one, although he was injured, it was not a problem to hold the opponent or try to escape.At this moment, the old man standing on the steps suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, his whole feeling changed, his eyes flashed brightly, and he stared at Mo Xuan tightly like an eagle. He didn't know how he moved, as if As if teleporting, the man fell in front of the fighting people, and he stretched out a hand like a stick from under his wide sleeves, and grabbed Mo Xuan.
The moment the old man opened his eyes, Ming Jin felt uneasy, and couldn't care about anything else, so he rushed out. Almost at the same time as the old man stretched out his hand, he just reached Mo Xuan's side, and when he stretched out his hand, he happened to be facing the old man. together.Ming Jin was startled, his whole body went numb, his body backed up uncontrollably, his throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood overflowed from his mouth.
The old man also had a look of surprise on his face, waving his sleeve robe, and retreated endlessly, until he retreated to the steps again.
Mo Xuan's eyes as calm as water and as cold as ice suddenly panicked, forcing the person who was fighting with him back, and jumped to Ming Jin's side
, Mingjin didn't take him to say anything, grabbed him, got up and ran outside, and at the same time turned around and told Chi Yan: "Go!"
Chi Yan got rid of the entanglement and followed closely.
The three of them zipped across and left the courtyard in the blink of an eye. They didn't have time to wonder why no one was chasing them, so they went straight back to the Xunfang Pavilion without stopping.
In that yard, the other two fighting saw Ming Jin and the other three jumping over the wall and leaving, they hurriedly asked the old man for instructions: "Old Bai, do you want to chase after him?"
"No need." The old man took a deep breath, suppressed the churning blood, and said with condensed eyebrows: "We have other things here this time, don't compromise your strength because of these, after all, we are in another country, and our number is limited .”
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the man in the black robe with the scar on his face that Zhiluo had glimpsed that day came out: "Grandpa, are you okay? What is this person's identity, he can actually block your old age."
"I don't know either." The old man frowned and shook his head, "I never imagined that such a talent would emerge in less than 20 years. Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
"Hehe, why don't you belittle yourself, Grandpa, you just didn't really make a move." The man smiled, turned around and said, "I'd better send someone to take you back first, it's not easy to stay here for a long time. Be careful."
After the man finished speaking, a figure walked out of the room, wrapped in a wide and thick cloak, only reaching the chin of the man in black, unable to see his face clearly, the clothes were too thick, and his figure could not be seen clearly. What happened, the man nodded slightly at the man in black and the old man, then turned and left, followed by the two people who were fighting in the courtyard just now.
The three of Mingjin returned to the Xunfang Pavilion, and once they entered the room, Mo Xuan couldn't bear it anymore, and quickly supported Mingjin to sit down, his eyes were red and his face was pale.Mo Xuan raised his hand to wipe away the blood from Ming Jin's mouth, but Ming Jin coughed twice and spit out another mouthful of blood, Mo Xuan's voice was full of nervousness and fear: "Master, master, how are you?" Ming Jin was knocked back and vomited blood with one move, and the old man wanted to kill himself, and the master was injured only to protect him.
Ming Jin took off the mask, and said calmly: "I'm fine, just now I was shocked by the internal force, and my blood was a little churning. How can I be so unbearable, your master." He was also terrified in his heart. With that palm, Xuan'er might be seriously injured right now.
At this time, Chi Yan also brought Mr. Wei over. Mr. Wei lost his usual frivolity and looked serious: "Pavilion Master, are you injured?"
"Master, I'm going to find Shuran Yelai." Mo Xuan suddenly got up and was about to go out, but was pulled back by Ming Jin, who squeezed his hand, because there were other people around, so it was difficult to talk to him in detail, so he had to He raised his face and said: "I'm fine, Chi Yan, but we can see who is meeting them."
"No, that man is so tightly wrapped that neither a man nor a woman can tell. He is not tall, so he doesn't look like Xi Haochen." Chi Yan's voice was low and his face was expressionless.
Ming Jin nodded: "Old Wei, you take Chi Yan to heal your injuries first, and we will talk about other things tomorrow. Let everyone else disperse, and no further actions are allowed."
Old Wei nodded, and led Chi Yan out.
At this moment, Mo Xuan stopped making a sound, and stared at Ming Jin closely, without blinking.Ming Jin turned around and glared at him: "I've said it all, I'm fine, don't look like I'm dead."
Mo Xuan's face was a little annoyed, and he suddenly hugged Ming Jin: "Master, I don't allow you to have anything to do, even if Xuan'er dies, I don't want the master to get hurt. Master, don't take such risks for Xuan'er. "
Ming Jin's heart softened for a while, he raised his hand to hug Mo Xuan's thin body, his eyes were soft, but he pretended to be angry: "What risk? In your heart, your master and I are so useless? Fight, I can't beat that old thing, but it's not so easy for him to kill me."
Mo Xuan remained silent, hugging Ming Jin even tighter.
Ming Jin sighed, patted Mo Xuan on the back lightly, and comforted him: "I know it myself, it's fine, it's fine. We can't delay too long, we have to rush back to the Hou's Mansion before dawn."
Only then did Mo Xuan come out of Ming Jin's arms, with a firm face on his face: "Master, Xuan'er must work hard, and Xuan'er will protect the master in the future."
Ming Jin looked at him, and suddenly smiled, with a bright and warm smile, nodded at Mo Xuan, and reached out to rub his cheek.
☆, Pretending to be a waitress
When Ming Jin and Mo Xuan went back, it was already dawn.Ming Jin asked Mo Xuan to go back to his room, and he quietly entered through the window.Fang Zi slept on the bed in her clothes, Ming Jin sat on the chair, closed her eyes and adjusted her breath for a while, listening to the movement on the bed, and then opened her eyes.
Fang Ziying was a little surprised, she didn't know when this person came in, she had a look of vigilance on her face: "Didn't you say that nothing would happen? Why did you come back to my room again?"
"This is also my room, you can't let the people in the house watch me go out from another room on the wedding night." Ming Jin gave her a flat look, got up and went behind the screen to change clothes.
Fang Ziying was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do. He waited for Ming Jin to change into the court clothes and come out, before he said, "Since you want me to work, tell me what's going on in this house anyway."
"I have to go to the morning court. You can ask the people in the courtyard about the matter in this mansion. The people in this courtyard are all my people." Ming Jin straightened his robe and said, "Go to sleep for a while, what's the matter?" If you need it, call the girl outside." After speaking, she walked out, leaving Fang Ziying there alone in a daze.
Fang Ziying didn't know whether it was annoyed or helpless, but thinking about Yu Shaoyun who was waiting for her, she had no choice but to accept her fate and temporarily listen to Mingjin's orders, hoping that after everything was over, she would be free and live the life she wanted.
Ming Jin watched everyone carefully, but still had no clue, especially the third prince, whose face was as deep as water, and covered his edge for more than half a year, keeping a low profile and quiet.Ming Jin frowned, then gave Xi Yincang a secret wink, and said, "See you at Xunfang Hall tonight."
Xi Yincang went back to the palace first, he sent Long Yuan out, but found nothing at all, presumably Ming Jin's people must have gained something, what he didn't know was that Ming Jin went there personally, and suffered a loss.
Xi Yincang had just returned to the mansion, and went through the garden to the main courtyard. Afterwards, his boss chased after him, walked to Xi Yincang's side and reported in a low voice: "My lord, He Cheng is dead."
"Oh?" Xi Yincang stopped in his tracks: "When? Is there any other news?"
"The one who died five days ago was the day when the lord and the concubine visited the four princes of Yeguo at night." Zixun replied: "
