Chapter 25
Yuan Zanbi only felt that the heavens and the earth were turning, and even breathing was hot between exhaling and inhaling.
He took a deep breath and leaned against the rock, his mind buzzing.
There was a sound of very light footsteps, this must be a light woman, not a man.
Even if Yuan Zanbi doesn't look at it, he knows that his eyes must be red, which is very frightening. He is hot from his chest to his waist, hot and numb. Those who can come and go in and out of the garden at this time must be people at the palace banquet. He didn't want to bump into the female family member, but the other party was getting closer, so he turned around and planned to go around.
"Master Yuan." The woman spoke, her voice was like pearls rolling down, clear and pleasant.
Yuan Zanbi put down his hand supporting the rock, and said, "Your Highness."
Liu Changning walked over, the woman under the moonlight had a pale complexion, extremely soft and beautiful.
"I've been looking for Mr. Yuan for a long time, and it turns out that Mr. Yuan is here." Liu Changning's tone was a bit shy, as if he was facing a girl who was his sweetheart.
Yuan Zan pen lowered his eyes, and took a step back calmly, "Is there anything your Highness can do with Yuan?"
Liu Changning smiled and said, "I have something to do."
Yuan Zanbi tried his best to suppress his breathing, and said slowly: "Please speak, Your Highness."
The scent of powder on Liu Changning's body constantly disturbed his breathing. Yuan Zanbi only felt that his throat was hoarse and uncomfortable, but because of the identity of the other party, he couldn't reach out to cover his nose, so he had to try his best to breathe lightly. The aroma was not so full, not only did not relieve his condition, but because of his slow breathing, his chest seemed to be cut open and charcoal was stuffed in.
Liu Changning raised his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Such a beautiful moonlight, whenever I look up at the moon, I always think of an old friend." She didn't need Yuanzan pen to answer, she just looked at the moon with both Yuanzan pen, even more moonlight sprinkled down.
Liu Changning said: "I still remember when your elder brother entered the court for the first time," she gestured with her hands, looking more like an innocent little girl, "Your elder brother is wearing official uniform, which is obviously the same as everyone else's. He was the first thing I saw when I walked up the official road."
"Your Highness." Yuan Zanbi reminded softly.
It's not that Yuan Zanbi doesn't want to hear others recall Yuan Zanying, but it's definitely not the time.
He almost wanted to leave immediately.
Liu Changning's eyes were dimly lit, "Back then I really liked him, but Brother Huang told me that if I married him, Zanying would no longer be an official, and he could only be my son-in-law. I just thought, in the future, the hairpin tassel will draw my eyebrows for me. Wouldn’t it be good for the two of us to be together? There are many obstacles for him to be an official, but it’s different to be a son-in-law. Is it not good?"
Liu Changning took a few steps forward, Yuan Zanbi said in a low voice that he was being rude, and stepped back, keeping a distance of ten feet from Liu Changning.
"But when I talked to him, he didn't say he disagreed, but I knew he didn't want to when I saw his eyes. He didn't want to touch my face. I got angry, and I told him that this palace is the eldest princess. How many young talents have been chosen by me, so what is your Yuan Zanying? It’s just that I like you for a while. I can like you today, and I can like others tomorrow. I went back and cried a lot, and decided to use Yuan Zanying in the future. If there is something that needs me, I will definitely make him kneel down and admit his mistake."
The moonlight shone into Liu Changning's eyes, and tears rolled down these beautiful eyes.
Yuan Zanbi was at a loss and could only stand there.
"Later, someone asked Yuan Zhanying if she didn't want to be a son-in-law. Your gentle and gentle brother all his life said: I am not worthy of Princess Changning. He told others that it was he who proposed marriage, but I rejected it. Afterwards, he and his brother reformed, Reform, I hope he succeeds, but I don’t want him to succeed. If he succeeds, it means that we are destined for nothing in this life. If he fails, he will be impeached and dismissed from office, so he can be my consort. This is what I think. But Seeing his appearance, I suddenly felt that it would be good to make him a proud minister for the rest of his life."
She stretched out her hand, and the long sleeves slid down, revealing her white arms.
Yuan Zanbi turned his head away immediately.
Liu Changning smiled and said, "I hope your brother will be the moon in the sky all his life, even if I can only watch him here forever."
"I married Rong Junhou, and I thought I had no extravagant hopes for Yuan Zanying." She sighed softly, and laughed again, "But your brother lost, he and my elder brother lost! Your Majesty was defeated When I was forced to write down the imperial edict, I knew that the moon in my palace would still shatter on the ground after all."
Yuanzan's fingers turned blue and white, and the effects of the medicine and memories bothered him so much that he had a splitting headache.
"He was dismissed from office, he traveled all over the world, and he seemed to have no extravagant hopes for the court. I really breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to stay away from the court, to be a learned man, to live well, to live for a long time, and to be happy with my sons and daughters." , until the end of life! I really think so!"
Liu Changning's face was grim, "Half a year after Rong Junhou's death, His Majesty ordered me to go back to live in the palace, saying that he was staying with the Empress Dowager. I was embroidering with the Empress Dowager that day, and the people below ran in, saying that the princess should go and persuade me. Advise Your Majesty. I only found out after entering the inner study that your brother is dead."
Yuan Zanbi said hoarsely: "It's all old things, I don't want to talk to the princess anymore. I will leave."
Liu Changning grabbed Yuan Zanying's wrist, and the scalding temperature on her wrist made her terrified. She grabbed it so hard that her nails were almost embedded in the flesh of Yuan Zanying, "They said that Yuan Zanying died of illness, what happened to Yuan Zanying He would have died of illness. Bengong had asked the imperial doctor who treated Yuan Zhanying a long time ago. Although Yuan Zhanying was seriously ill, it was not incurable. Who killed him? By you, by someone in your family? By all the children of the family who think he is a stain and a traitor? Or by..."
Yuanzan pen shook her hand away.
The nails cut through the flesh, blood seeped from the wound.
"I saw you that day," Liu Changning said with resentment in his eyes, "I saw you having a happy conversation with Xie Jing. Who is Xie Jujin, Xie Jing's father? He did not hesitate to oppose the reforms back then, and he was responsible for forcing the palace later! How could you be with this man? Kind of people together? In this exam, you sold a huge favor to Mrs. Xie. Even Mrs. Xie, who has eyes above the top, thinks it is contemptible to associate with you because of your improper background! Yuanzanbi, you are like this! How can you be worthy of your brother, how can you be worthy of the person who died in Ning You's case!"
Yuan Zhanbi was brought up by Yuan Zhanying since she was a child. Liu Changning met him many times, always with Yuan Zanying. She thought that the children Yuan Zhanying taught must be similar to him, even if they were completely different. He would never do something that ruined his brother's life-long efforts step by step with his own hands.
She stared at the Yuanzan pen, wanting to see the wavering in his eyes.
But not at all.
Yuan Zanbi said slowly: "Your Highness is drunk, I'm going to ask someone to help His Highness to rest."
But Liu Changning said: "You gain power because the aristocratic family gains power. I would rather see a shameless little person like Qiao Yu become an extremely human minister than see you rise to the top." She bent her lips and smiled, "Did someone tell you that the palace banquet Is this Gong responsible for it?" She raised her chin, very arrogantly, "If you kill you directly, maybe you can leave a good name for you, this Gong is not willing."
Yuan Zanbi already understood what she meant.
"Tell me, if you get drunk and offend me, what will happen to the emperor? What will happen to all the officials?" Liu Changning stretched out his hand and put it on his collar. Before she pulled it off, she screamed: "Come on! Come on— —”
Yuan Zan didn't care about anything, and knocked Liu Changning unconscious with one palm.
The soft body of the woman fell into his arms, with tears still on her face.
The Yuanzan pen was burned to the point where he could hardly see clearly. He let out a breath and said, "Qiao Xiang, why haven't you left after looking at it for so long?"
As soon as Liu Changning said a few words, he heard the sound of a wheelchair, presumably it was Qiao Yu who felt something was wrong and came out to take a look.
Sure enough, Qiao Yu turned around from that side. Although he had listened to the whole process, he still smiled eccentrically and said, "Your Majesty Yuan is indeed very charming. There are beauties from other races who have admired you for a long time, and you have golden branches and jade leaves. Very envious and admirable."
Yuan Zanbi pushed the princess to him directly, and said, "Help me."
Qiao Yu was hit by the princess and almost didn't get out of the wheelchair.
He secretly scolded Yuan Zanbi in his heart, but he was sympathetic to the princess, but he showed no mercy to him.Could it be that Yuan Zanbi is blind, can't see that he is sitting like this, even if it is very difficult to support a woman?
He raised his head, and was about to say something sarcastic, but saw that Yuan Zanbi was burned from head to toe, as if he had just been fished out of hot water, and his earlobes were bright red, very gorgeous.
"It's hard to repay the favor of the truth." Qiao Yu said.
Yuan Zanbi said softly: "Please."
He was panting under pressure, his voice was soft and hoarse, he was so vain from the heat, his whole body was wet, even his eyes were wet, Qiao Yu's breathing was stagnant, and he waved his hands and said, "Get out."
Yuan Zanbi turned around and left.
At this time, the best way is to follow Liu Changning's method and watch Yuan Zanbi be wronged, or...he looked down at Liu Changning.
Or testify for Liu Changning that Yuan Zanbi wanted to do something wrong, but the eldest princess fought fiercely and failed, so she knocked him out.
He simply has ten thousand ways to destroy the Yuanzan pen, besides, this opportunity is close at hand, if he doesn't grasp it firmly, he will definitely regret it in the future, but Qiao Yu was knocked unconscious by that begging, unexpectedly Yuanzanbi looks proud, but in fact he can say such soft words. Yuanzanbi's steps are soft, his waist is soft, and his voice is also soft.
Normally, Yuan Zanbi was on guard against him in everything, but at this moment, he was showing weakness like a fierce wolf cub turning over and exposing his belly and throat. How could he not let Qiao Yu feel complacent?
Qiao Yu gave a sudden pause.
Why is Yuan Zanbi's words so smooth and natural, and why is he so... proficient?
His complexion changed slightly.
Yuan Zan pen was considerate of the other party, and did not use much force, Liu Changning's body was still shaking.
Although Qiao Yu admits that Yuan Zanying is indeed a humble gentleman that people will never forget, but he really can't empathize with Liu Changning. He is too preconceived to think that Yuan Zanying can only die in his hands, and he can't bear all the behaviors of cutting off Hu.
The Liu family will die at his hands, and Yuan Zanbi will die at his hands.
If someone wants to kill Yuan Zanbi, then Qiao Yu can only kill this person to avoid future troubles.
Qiao Yu looked at Liu Changning thoughtfully.
Although he was a grown man, he was physically disabled after all, so it was hard to help a fainted woman like this, so he let go and pushed the eldest princess down.
He may have used a little force, or it may be that the Yuanzan pen was too light, Liu Changning woke up after landing on the ground.
The woman blinked her eyes, her neck and head hurt badly, she stood up tremblingly only to realize that there was someone behind her.
Seeing her trembling, Qiao Yu shouted, "Come on!"
Liu Changning: "..."
No matter how he looked at it, Liu Changning felt that this scene was extremely familiar, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing!"
Qiao Yu smiled with his eyes bent, looking more innocent than Liu Changning. He said softly, "The princess was drunk and bumped her head against the rocks. I didn't have time to stop the princess. I watched the princess faint, so I was very worried, so I want to call someone over to bring His Highness back to the imperial physician to see if there is any injury on his body."
Liu Changning took a deep breath. The degree of her dislike for Qiao Yu was only inferior to Yuan Zan's pen. At this time, it was very difficult for her to maintain her demeanor and speak, "Where is Yuan Zan's pen?"
Qiao Yu was surprised and said, "Yuan Zanbi? What Yuan Zanbi, has Mr. Yuan been here? I didn't see him."
Liu Changning sneered and said, "You can't talk nonsense and turn black and white."
Qiao Yu was even more surprised. What surprised him was how could someone be more brazen than him. Under such circumstances, he could tell that he had turned black and white, so he said: "Then what should be the truth? Could it be that someone wants to belittle the princess? Did you knock the princess out?"
Liu Changning's face turned red and then pale.
Qiao Yu obviously heard it all.
Qiao Yu's voice was obviously much louder than Liu Changning's, and there were already hurried footsteps coming from not far away.
Liu Changning said suddenly: "You and Yuan Zanbi are working together, I have nothing to say, it's just Qiao Yu." Her face showed a sneer, "If you still have half a heart, you shouldn't forget why your parents died. die,"
Qiao Yu thought in her heart: Of course I know why they died.
Because of your good brother, Your Highness.
"For people like Yuan Zanbi to gain power, Mr. Qiao knows, and I don't know if he will hate himself for giving birth to such an unworthy descendant as Qiao Xiang."
Qiao Yu smiled softly, "Your Highness provoked me so much because he wanted me to join hands with His Highness to kill Yuan Zanbi together. Why bother to talk so complicated."
Liu Changning said: "If I say yes, what will you do?"
"No." Qiao Yu answered decisively, and he smiled shyly. It seemed that Liu Changning was not asking who he wanted to kill, but who he wanted to marry. She looked so much like a girl in a boudoir, and it made Liu Changning very uncomfortable to see her. She couldn't figure out why the emperor would reuse Qiao Yu, could it be because of his face?Although the beauty of the country is small, but in such a big country, it is impossible to find a few beauties with both talents and looks. Could it be that Qiao Yu is out of control? "Although I want to kill Yuan Zanbi, I want to kill him even in my dreams, but I will never allow anyone to kill him before I do."
Yuan Zan pen must, and can only die in his hands.
Qiao Yu even picked out the coffin and cemetery of Yuanzanbi, he has no eyesight, so how can he allow others to get involved in Yuanzanbi?
He smiled, "Princess Qing is good to take care of herself, don't play tricks on the courtiers."
Liu Changning said: "What if I want it?"
Qiao Yu pursed his lips and smiled very softly. He whispered to the princess: "Then I can only let the princess, and can't play Lord Yuan's idea."
It was a threat.
Liu Changning said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
"How dare the minister."
Liu Changning looked Qiao Yu up and down, and smiled knowingly, "Whatever the Yuanzan pen promises to you, I can promise you as well."
Qiao Yu smiled sweetly, and her gestures and gestures looked more like a soft beauty than Liu Changning, the princess who grew up in the palace. "Yuan Bi said to marry me when things are done, can the princess marry me?"
Liu Changning was taken aback, and after a while he said disgustedly: "You are really crazy."
Of course she didn't believe Qiao Yu's words. If it wasn't for his status, he might be able to say what the third prince would marry him after the matter was completed.
It's just that he doesn't care what others think?Liu Changning has seen many beauties who serve others with their sex, either for the sake of fame, or for profit, or they can't help themselves, or they enjoy it, but there is no one as shameless as Qiao Yu, and he doesn't serve others with sex.
Qiao Yu is also very annoyed sitting here. He really wants to ask Yuan Zanbi why he found such a place with overgrown trees and near the pond, where there are mosquitoes and ants everywhere. After biting three or four bags, he fought with Liu Changning and went out to fight mosquitoes.
Liu Changning said: "Yuanshi Shilu Shiqing, you are different from him, helping him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."
How could Qiao Yu not know that he and Yuan Zanbi are two kinds of people?Qiao Yu had heard this too much, so he smiled nonchalantly.
What about the two kinds of people?
He wants to kill Yuan Zanbi, but he doesn't want to marry Yuan Zanbi. Does he still want his childhood sweetheart to be right?
Qiao Yu hissed, and then said: "Is the princess okay?"
Someone came.
The leader was an old female officer, who hurriedly bowed down when she saw Qiao Yu and Liu Changning here.
"I just heard Qiao Xiang call someone, princess..."
With a dignified demeanor, Liu Changning said indifferently, "I'm fine, I just had a headache, which scared Qiao Xiang."
Qiao Yu said softly: "Since the princess is fine, the minister will go back first."
Liu Changning said, "Mr. Qiao, walk slowly."
Just as the little eunuch was about to push Qiao Yu away, a childish voice came from not far away, "Come here, tell the imperial physician!"
Liu Changning and Qiao Yu looked at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Liu Changning recognized the voice as the Ninth Prince Liu Fei, who was less than ten years old, and hurried over while asking someone to pass on the imperial physician.
Qiao Yu had no interest in who had the accident, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered Yuan Zanbi.
Pass on the imperial physician?
Yes, the banquet is not over yet, Yuan Zanbi can't leave.
His expression changed, and he followed.
When Liu Changning caught a glimpse of Qiao Yu from the corner of his eye, he felt extremely disgusted.
"This is a royal family matter," Liu Changning said, "Qiao Xiang can go back."
Qiao Yu pushed back lightly and said, "Maybe it's the subject's family business, Your Highness."
Liu Changning suppressed his anger, "What does Qiao Xiang mean?"
The voice was clearly Liu Fei, what are you talking about about Qiao Yu's family?
A few people passed by, and Liu Changning saw Liu Fei whose face was as white as a sheet of frightened as expected, and a Yuanzan pen whose face was whiter than Liu Fei's.
Liu Fei was crying out of breath, Yuan Zanbi half-kneeled in front of him to coax him, his side face was astonishingly white under the lamp, when he heard the voice and turned his head, he looked a little helpless.
He didn't know how he got hurt, the blood in his hair had flowed down half of his face, dividing one face into two parts, one was pale, and the other was too bloody, it kept flowing down.
Yuan Zanbi obviously didn't expect to see these two people, and his expression became even more helpless.
A scented handkerchief fell on his head.
Liu Changning said blankly, "Wipe first."
The female official hurriedly took out the handkerchief, but Liu Changning looked at Yuan Zanbi with a cold expression. She hesitated for a moment, and the handkerchief was taken away by the princess and thrown over.
Although Liu Changning wished that Yuan Zan's pen would die, he couldn't show it too clearly at the moment, and he felt annoyed.
Qiao Yu liked to play with fans and handkerchiefs when he was young, and he was often said to be too rouge, and he did things his own way. Later, the world changed drastically, and he thought about everything he saw, so he simply didn't use it.I don't want to find something that is really useful today, and even I feel ridiculous for a while.
Qiao Yu said with a smile: "Your Highness said to let Mr. Yuan clean up."
Yuan Zanbi raised his hand stiffly and took off the handkerchief.
His fingers trembled violently, and after rubbing for a long time, blood was all over his face.
Qiao Yu stared coldly for a moment, then snatched the handkerchief away.
Yuan Zanbi raised his head, with surprise in his eyes.
Qiao Yu reached out and pinched his chin, and wiped away the blood on his face indiscriminately.
The wound was on the forehead. Qiao Yu wanted to press it, but maybe the smell of the handkerchief mixed with the smell of blood was too strange. He smelled uncomfortable, and he didn't want to smell more blood. After working on the wound for a long time, he carefully wiped off the blood around it. The blood seeped into the handkerchief and got on his fingertips.
He folded the handkerchief three times and pressed it lightly on the wound of Yuan Zanbi.
Qiao Yu bent down slightly, and whispered maliciously in Yuan Zanbi's ear: "The first day I found out the truth, it turns out that there will be a bloody battle in the palace with generals."
Yuan Zanbi smiled wryly, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that either."
He spoke in a wheezy voice, out of breath.
Liu Changning said softly: "Xiao Jiu stopped crying, tell aunt what's wrong."
Liu Fei only grabbed Liu Changning's sleeve and sobbed softly, not daring to say what happened.
Rong Yinhuan quickly brought people over, but he didn't expect to see these people who shouldn't be here.
Rong Yinhuan saluted one by one first, and said: "Just now, the minister saw a black shadow turning over the wall and shot an arrow. Can you see any suspicious people?"
Yuan Zanbi took a breath, pointed to the tree, "Your Excellency's arrow is there."
The feather arrow pierced the tree and penetrated a few inches, which shows how powerful it is.
Rong Yinhuan reacted abruptly, knelt down and said: "The minister was negligent for a while and almost accidentally injured His Highness, please His Highness, please come down!"
Liu Changning listened to Rong Yin Huan's meaning, understood in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Commander Rong is for the safety of the palace, so there is nothing wrong with it. Commander Rong just said that there are suspicious people, so I don't need to stay here for a long time. It's over, let's go." She gently wiped the tears off Liu Fei's face, "Xiao Jiu, can you go back with Auntie?"
She turned her head and said to the female officer beside her: "Go over and tell me that my clothes are dirty, go back to the palace and change into new ones."
Liu Fei bumped into He Meiren just last month because of a fight, and He Meiren was banned for half a year. Presumably no one was watching and climbed up the wall to watch the fun. Rong Yinhuan thought it was an assassin who shot an arrow. This kind of thing was brought up in front of the emperor. There is no benefit to anyone, it is better to calm down.
Rong Yinhuan was her late husband's younger brother, so there was no need to make a big fuss because of emotion and reason.
Liu Fei nodded vigorously, and then whispered: "Father..."
Liu Changning comforted: "No one will tell your father, be obedient and stop crying."
Liu Fei wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve in peace of mind, and said, "That person."
"Who?"
"The person who dragged me just now." Liu Fei said, "That person dragged me off the wall, and I saw the arrow shoot through. I fell and hit him, and I didn't see the bruise on his face until he got up. Blood."
Liu Changning's fingers holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened, and he put it down after a while, and said flatly, "He's fine."
……
Yuan Zanbi can be regarded as Rong Yinhuan's superior in terms of rank, but he has never been in charge of the affairs of the front office. The two perform their own duties, and there is no dispute.
The man didn't respond when he took the bow and shot the arrow. Instead, the arrow was pulled down suddenly when he was about to shoot it. He thought he had an accomplice. Looking at the appearance of the Yuanzan pen, he thought he pulled the prince down and hurt himself.
Rong Yinhuan cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, my lord." Before Yuan Zanbi could speak, he asked someone to get the wound medicine he carried with him, "If it wasn't for your lord today, Rong would probably not be able to save his life."
Yuan Zanbi waved his hand lightly.
He looked too weak, not like a general.
Even the guards around Rong Yinhuan murmured in their hearts that although Yuan Zanbi was injured, he could not even be speechless, either because he was too arrogant or physically weak.
In fact, Yuan Zanbi was really wronged. He was almost irrational after being burned by those medicines. He even wanted to stab himself so that he could go back as soon as possible. He vaguely saw Liu Fei on the wall and heard the bow and arrow flying over. The sound of the wind dragged him down.
He overestimated himself and underestimated the efficacy of the medicine.
Now his body is both cold and hot, so cold that he lost blood, and so hot that he was medicined, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't even see clearly, and he really didn't have the extra strength to speak again.
And most importantly, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, it would become a gasp.
Qiao Yu took the medicine over without any hassle.
The man was taken aback, and even Rong Yinhuan was taken aback.
Qiao Yu's fingers were very cold, there was no scar on his hand, it was cold and slippery, like a piece of ice, when the skin of Yuanzanbi was pasted on, Yuanzanbi snorted, and said forcefully, "I can do it myself. "
Qiao Yu didn't care at all, and complained: "The imperial doctor hasn't come yet, so he is preparing the birthday materials for your body? Yo, this is slow, and it will definitely make Mr. Yuan a grand funeral."
Yuan Zanbi could only smile wryly.
Qiao Yu felt cold all over his body, he was dizzy, and he couldn't help but lean forward, but he still had a little bit of reason, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he resisted it and remained motionless.
If he really posted it now, he would have no way to explain it. Although he and Qiao Yu have no clear names, after all, the court has not said that they are working together.
Qiao Yu focused on treating the wound on Yuan Zanbi's forehead. The wound was not deep, but narrow and long. Yuan Zanbi lowered his eyes and looked very well-behaved. Let's see how the Yuanzan pen will react.
Yuan Zan's face was bloodless, and his body was terribly hot, and he couldn't say anything, he just wanted to go back to Yuan Mansion as soon as possible.
Qiao Yu was rubbing medicine on him when the half-kneeling Yuanzan pen fell on his knee.
Only then did Qiao Yu feel how hot he was.
Rong Yinhuan was also taken aback, and immediately came to Fu Yuan Zanbi.
Yuan Zanbi's body was so hot that Rong Yin Huan was startled, his first reaction was to touch Yuanzanbi's face to see if it was hot.
Yuan Zanbi said vaguely: "Go back to Yuan Mansion."
Rong Yinhuan said: "Come here, send Lord Yuan out of the palace."
Rong Yinhuan felt that Qiao Yu looked at him a little strangely.
He tilted his head and realized that Qiao Yu wasn't looking at him at all, but was looking at the person who helped away the Yuanzan pen.
Rong Yinhuan was even more strange.
Qiao Yu reached out to brush off the folds on the official uniform, and when he adjusted the position of his knees, he paused.
"Go back." Qiao Yu said.
The little eunuch pushed Qiao Yu back as promised.
……
When Liu Changning returned to the palace banquet, he only saw Qiao Yu alone, but he did not see Yuan Zanbi.
She sat down, and Liu Anping toasted her with a suppressed smile.
Liu Changning picked it up, and knowingly asked, "Why don't you see Mr. Yuan?"
Finally Liu Anping couldn't hold back any longer, and whispered while laughing: "Master Qiao said that Master Yuan drank too much, hit a rock, and went home for treatment."
Liu Changning hummed, and said, "Why don't you invite the imperial physician?"
Liu Anping said: "Master Qiao said please, Master Qiao has come back, only to see the imperial doctor rushing over."
Qiao Yu might have restrained herself, and didn't say in public that she went to collect the corpse.
Liu Anping said: "Lord Qiao also said that he didn't tell the imperial physician not to go there, let's see if the imperial physician thinks the injured man ran away by himself."
Liu Changning glanced at Qiao Yu from the corner of his eye.
Qiao Yu was talking happily with someone, with smiles on his face and eyes.
Beauty and fine wine are always similar, just looking at them seems to make you drunk.
Liu Anping glanced at Qiao Yu, turned around again, and said in a low voice, "If, if Your Majesty really wants me to marry Mr. Yuan, what can I do?"
Liu Changning said: "Yuan Zan pen is not a good match."
Liu Anping was about to nod, when Liu Changning said, "Even less so is Qiao Yu."
Even if Yuan Zanbi was dismissed from office, he would just be idle at home. If Qiao Yu lost power, he would definitely die without a whole body.
Liu Anping said angrily: "Why? Because he has a flamboyant personality and is not liked by many people? Qiao Yu is proud of his talent, what's wrong with his temper?"
Liu Changning whispered: "Because it is your father's sword, you can marry your father's courtiers, but you must not marry your father's sword. His Majesty will not use this sword in the future, and he does not want to marry it." Let others use it, you say, what will His Majesty do with you?"
Liu Anping's face turned pale.
Liu Changning looked at Liu Anping and said pitifully, "Anping, Your Majesty is doing it for your own good."
Liu Anping turned his head to look at Qiao Yu.
This time it was the third prince who was joking with Qiao Yu, and that official had gone somewhere.
Liu Yao said: "Yuan Zanbi really got drunk and broke his head?"
Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Really."
Liu Yao laughed and said: "I believe such words on others, but I don't believe a word on Yuan Zanbi."
Qiao Yu said seriously: "The minister can only tell His Highness the truth."
Liu Yao said: "Mr. Qiao, please tell me."
Qiao Yu clung to his ear and said seriously: "It was the minister who beat me."
Perhaps Liu Yao's disbelief was too obvious, Qiao Yu also added, "I'm drunk, and Master Yuan is also drunk. When I saw him, old and new hatred came to my heart, and I couldn't hold back. beated."
The way the two of them spoke quietly was so obvious that even the prince and the fifth prince looked over.
Seeing Qiao Yu's posture, Liu Changning felt even more disgusted.
Liu Yao was stunned, "Mr. Qiao?"
If it wasn't for Qiao Yu's identity and his relationship with Qiao Yu, you would have almost blurted it out.
Qiao Yu repeated it firmly, "I beat you." Seeing Liu Yao's face full of doubts, "Your Highness doesn't believe me?"
Liu Yao said awkwardly, "I believe it, I believe it."
Liu Yao returned to his seat.
Qiao Yu was quiet for a while, sitting there by herself, concentrating on playing with the jade pears in her sleeves.
The jade was warm and moist, sticking to his fingers.
Although the skin of the Yuanzan pen is not as moist as jade, it is also smooth.
Yuli was held in his hand.
Qiao Yu lowered her eyes.
I don't know how the Yuanzan pen is doing now?
Although the palace banquets were boring before, they had never made him so anxious - he really wanted to see Yuan Zanbi's distressed appearance.
Qiao Yu fiddled with Li's hand for a while.
But there is no legal principle that says that the Yuanzan pen must be endured.
How can he be sure that Yuan Zanbi is at home in a state of embarrassment at the moment, and not the Furong tent warming the spring night?
The dancer danced gracefully, and Qiao Yu's mood changed from dull to pins and needles.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is getting old, it's not too late, and the birthday banquet has almost come to an end.
The queen accompanied the empress dowager to leave first, and all the officials stood up and kowtowed.
Among this group of people, Qiao Yu who was still sitting was very conspicuous.
The Empress Dowager kept her eyes on Qiao Yu, almost fascinated.
The queen secretly wondered in her heart, the young people of the aristocratic family are much more handsome, why don't the empress dowager look so intently at who? "Qiao Yu is physically disabled." She thought the Empress Dowager was looking at Qiao Yu because of this, "His Majesty granted him permission not to kneel."
The Empress Dowager said: "Is there a physical disability? This child was born with broken legs?"
How can the queen say that she was imprisoned in a quiet room and interrupted?
She nodded and said, "Yes."
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, not even a pity.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and helped the empress dowager out.
The empress dowager has left, and the emperor has no plans to stay for a long time. He has always been a person who likes grand ostentation but gets tired of watching it after a while. This sentence let everyone leave the main hall freely.
It was like this every year, and the courtiers were already used to it, going out in twos and threes, and there were a few adults greeting each other on the spot.
The third prince didn't know what to say to the prince, both of them had smiles on their faces, and their words and demeanor were extremely intimate, as if the scene of wishing the other party would die tomorrow never existed before.
Qiao Yu was about to leave when the crown prince called him, "Qiao Xiang."
Qiao Yu sat in the wheelchair for a long time before showing a face that didn't smile, "His Royal Highness, Third Prince."
The third prince didn't seem to see his expression at all, and said: "The prince and I want to go back to my house for another drink. Would you like to go with Qiao Xiang?"
The third prince didn't know what was wrong with the prince who wanted to drink at his house, he couldn't refuse, but he didn't want to, so he had to bring Qiao Yu along.
Qiao Yu and the third prince are well known in the government and the public. Even if they have nothing to do with each other, as the third prince, Qiao Yu should not refuse as a minister.
Qiao Yu said: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness, I am very flattered." The crown prince raised his eyebrows, already anticipating what Qiao Yu would say next, "It's just that I'm not feeling well tonight, I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Highness's kindness."
No matter who Qiao Yu refuses, it's just a physical discomfort that changes the soup without changing the medicine. When it is the most perfunctory, at most he can say what is the discomfort.
The third prince couldn't help but said, "Do you want this palace to pass on the imperial physician to Qiao?"
Qiao Yu said politely, "I dare not bother Your Highness."
The prince smiled and said, "Since Qiao Xiang is not feeling well, let's go back quickly."
The third prince said: "His Royal Highness is very right, Qiao Xiang should come back soon."
Qiao Xiang and the two said goodbye one by one before leaving the main hall.
Many people on the road wanted to say hello to him, but they were all taken aback by Qiao Xiang's expression as if he was about to raise a knife to kill his deadly enemy in a sea of blood.
"Are you going back home, my lord?"
Qiao Yu said without hesitation, "Go to Yuan Mansion."
He took a deep breath and leaned against the rock, his mind buzzing.
There was a sound of very light footsteps, this must be a light woman, not a man.
Even if Yuan Zanbi doesn't look at it, he knows that his eyes must be red, which is very frightening. He is hot from his chest to his waist, hot and numb. Those who can come and go in and out of the garden at this time must be people at the palace banquet. He didn't want to bump into the female family member, but the other party was getting closer, so he turned around and planned to go around.
"Master Yuan." The woman spoke, her voice was like pearls rolling down, clear and pleasant.
Yuan Zanbi put down his hand supporting the rock, and said, "Your Highness."
Liu Changning walked over, the woman under the moonlight had a pale complexion, extremely soft and beautiful.
"I've been looking for Mr. Yuan for a long time, and it turns out that Mr. Yuan is here." Liu Changning's tone was a bit shy, as if he was facing a girl who was his sweetheart.
Yuan Zan pen lowered his eyes, and took a step back calmly, "Is there anything your Highness can do with Yuan?"
Liu Changning smiled and said, "I have something to do."
Yuan Zanbi tried his best to suppress his breathing, and said slowly: "Please speak, Your Highness."
The scent of powder on Liu Changning's body constantly disturbed his breathing. Yuan Zanbi only felt that his throat was hoarse and uncomfortable, but because of the identity of the other party, he couldn't reach out to cover his nose, so he had to try his best to breathe lightly. The aroma was not so full, not only did not relieve his condition, but because of his slow breathing, his chest seemed to be cut open and charcoal was stuffed in.
Liu Changning raised his head slightly, and said with a smile, "Such a beautiful moonlight, whenever I look up at the moon, I always think of an old friend." She didn't need Yuanzan pen to answer, she just looked at the moon with both Yuanzan pen, even more moonlight sprinkled down.
Liu Changning said: "I still remember when your elder brother entered the court for the first time," she gestured with her hands, looking more like an innocent little girl, "Your elder brother is wearing official uniform, which is obviously the same as everyone else's. He was the first thing I saw when I walked up the official road."
"Your Highness." Yuan Zanbi reminded softly.
It's not that Yuan Zanbi doesn't want to hear others recall Yuan Zanying, but it's definitely not the time.
He almost wanted to leave immediately.
Liu Changning's eyes were dimly lit, "Back then I really liked him, but Brother Huang told me that if I married him, Zanying would no longer be an official, and he could only be my son-in-law. I just thought, in the future, the hairpin tassel will draw my eyebrows for me. Wouldn’t it be good for the two of us to be together? There are many obstacles for him to be an official, but it’s different to be a son-in-law. Is it not good?"
Liu Changning took a few steps forward, Yuan Zanbi said in a low voice that he was being rude, and stepped back, keeping a distance of ten feet from Liu Changning.
"But when I talked to him, he didn't say he disagreed, but I knew he didn't want to when I saw his eyes. He didn't want to touch my face. I got angry, and I told him that this palace is the eldest princess. How many young talents have been chosen by me, so what is your Yuan Zanying? It’s just that I like you for a while. I can like you today, and I can like others tomorrow. I went back and cried a lot, and decided to use Yuan Zanying in the future. If there is something that needs me, I will definitely make him kneel down and admit his mistake."
The moonlight shone into Liu Changning's eyes, and tears rolled down these beautiful eyes.
Yuan Zanbi was at a loss and could only stand there.
"Later, someone asked Yuan Zhanying if she didn't want to be a son-in-law. Your gentle and gentle brother all his life said: I am not worthy of Princess Changning. He told others that it was he who proposed marriage, but I rejected it. Afterwards, he and his brother reformed, Reform, I hope he succeeds, but I don’t want him to succeed. If he succeeds, it means that we are destined for nothing in this life. If he fails, he will be impeached and dismissed from office, so he can be my consort. This is what I think. But Seeing his appearance, I suddenly felt that it would be good to make him a proud minister for the rest of his life."
She stretched out her hand, and the long sleeves slid down, revealing her white arms.
Yuan Zanbi turned his head away immediately.
Liu Changning smiled and said, "I hope your brother will be the moon in the sky all his life, even if I can only watch him here forever."
"I married Rong Junhou, and I thought I had no extravagant hopes for Yuan Zanying." She sighed softly, and laughed again, "But your brother lost, he and my elder brother lost! Your Majesty was defeated When I was forced to write down the imperial edict, I knew that the moon in my palace would still shatter on the ground after all."
Yuanzan's fingers turned blue and white, and the effects of the medicine and memories bothered him so much that he had a splitting headache.
"He was dismissed from office, he traveled all over the world, and he seemed to have no extravagant hopes for the court. I really breathed a sigh of relief. It's better to stay away from the court, to be a learned man, to live well, to live for a long time, and to be happy with my sons and daughters." , until the end of life! I really think so!"
Liu Changning's face was grim, "Half a year after Rong Junhou's death, His Majesty ordered me to go back to live in the palace, saying that he was staying with the Empress Dowager. I was embroidering with the Empress Dowager that day, and the people below ran in, saying that the princess should go and persuade me. Advise Your Majesty. I only found out after entering the inner study that your brother is dead."
Yuan Zanbi said hoarsely: "It's all old things, I don't want to talk to the princess anymore. I will leave."
Liu Changning grabbed Yuan Zanying's wrist, and the scalding temperature on her wrist made her terrified. She grabbed it so hard that her nails were almost embedded in the flesh of Yuan Zanying, "They said that Yuan Zanying died of illness, what happened to Yuan Zanying He would have died of illness. Bengong had asked the imperial doctor who treated Yuan Zhanying a long time ago. Although Yuan Zhanying was seriously ill, it was not incurable. Who killed him? By you, by someone in your family? By all the children of the family who think he is a stain and a traitor? Or by..."
Yuanzan pen shook her hand away.
The nails cut through the flesh, blood seeped from the wound.
"I saw you that day," Liu Changning said with resentment in his eyes, "I saw you having a happy conversation with Xie Jing. Who is Xie Jujin, Xie Jing's father? He did not hesitate to oppose the reforms back then, and he was responsible for forcing the palace later! How could you be with this man? Kind of people together? In this exam, you sold a huge favor to Mrs. Xie. Even Mrs. Xie, who has eyes above the top, thinks it is contemptible to associate with you because of your improper background! Yuanzanbi, you are like this! How can you be worthy of your brother, how can you be worthy of the person who died in Ning You's case!"
Yuan Zhanbi was brought up by Yuan Zhanying since she was a child. Liu Changning met him many times, always with Yuan Zanying. She thought that the children Yuan Zhanying taught must be similar to him, even if they were completely different. He would never do something that ruined his brother's life-long efforts step by step with his own hands.
She stared at the Yuanzan pen, wanting to see the wavering in his eyes.
But not at all.
Yuan Zanbi said slowly: "Your Highness is drunk, I'm going to ask someone to help His Highness to rest."
But Liu Changning said: "You gain power because the aristocratic family gains power. I would rather see a shameless little person like Qiao Yu become an extremely human minister than see you rise to the top." She bent her lips and smiled, "Did someone tell you that the palace banquet Is this Gong responsible for it?" She raised her chin, very arrogantly, "If you kill you directly, maybe you can leave a good name for you, this Gong is not willing."
Yuan Zanbi already understood what she meant.
"Tell me, if you get drunk and offend me, what will happen to the emperor? What will happen to all the officials?" Liu Changning stretched out his hand and put it on his collar. Before she pulled it off, she screamed: "Come on! Come on— —”
Yuan Zan didn't care about anything, and knocked Liu Changning unconscious with one palm.
The soft body of the woman fell into his arms, with tears still on her face.
The Yuanzan pen was burned to the point where he could hardly see clearly. He let out a breath and said, "Qiao Xiang, why haven't you left after looking at it for so long?"
As soon as Liu Changning said a few words, he heard the sound of a wheelchair, presumably it was Qiao Yu who felt something was wrong and came out to take a look.
Sure enough, Qiao Yu turned around from that side. Although he had listened to the whole process, he still smiled eccentrically and said, "Your Majesty Yuan is indeed very charming. There are beauties from other races who have admired you for a long time, and you have golden branches and jade leaves. Very envious and admirable."
Yuan Zanbi pushed the princess to him directly, and said, "Help me."
Qiao Yu was hit by the princess and almost didn't get out of the wheelchair.
He secretly scolded Yuan Zanbi in his heart, but he was sympathetic to the princess, but he showed no mercy to him.Could it be that Yuan Zanbi is blind, can't see that he is sitting like this, even if it is very difficult to support a woman?
He raised his head, and was about to say something sarcastic, but saw that Yuan Zanbi was burned from head to toe, as if he had just been fished out of hot water, and his earlobes were bright red, very gorgeous.
"It's hard to repay the favor of the truth." Qiao Yu said.
Yuan Zanbi said softly: "Please."
He was panting under pressure, his voice was soft and hoarse, he was so vain from the heat, his whole body was wet, even his eyes were wet, Qiao Yu's breathing was stagnant, and he waved his hands and said, "Get out."
Yuan Zanbi turned around and left.
At this time, the best way is to follow Liu Changning's method and watch Yuan Zanbi be wronged, or...he looked down at Liu Changning.
Or testify for Liu Changning that Yuan Zanbi wanted to do something wrong, but the eldest princess fought fiercely and failed, so she knocked him out.
He simply has ten thousand ways to destroy the Yuanzan pen, besides, this opportunity is close at hand, if he doesn't grasp it firmly, he will definitely regret it in the future, but Qiao Yu was knocked unconscious by that begging, unexpectedly Yuanzanbi looks proud, but in fact he can say such soft words. Yuanzanbi's steps are soft, his waist is soft, and his voice is also soft.
Normally, Yuan Zanbi was on guard against him in everything, but at this moment, he was showing weakness like a fierce wolf cub turning over and exposing his belly and throat. How could he not let Qiao Yu feel complacent?
Qiao Yu gave a sudden pause.
Why is Yuan Zanbi's words so smooth and natural, and why is he so... proficient?
His complexion changed slightly.
Yuan Zan pen was considerate of the other party, and did not use much force, Liu Changning's body was still shaking.
Although Qiao Yu admits that Yuan Zanying is indeed a humble gentleman that people will never forget, but he really can't empathize with Liu Changning. He is too preconceived to think that Yuan Zanying can only die in his hands, and he can't bear all the behaviors of cutting off Hu.
The Liu family will die at his hands, and Yuan Zanbi will die at his hands.
If someone wants to kill Yuan Zanbi, then Qiao Yu can only kill this person to avoid future troubles.
Qiao Yu looked at Liu Changning thoughtfully.
Although he was a grown man, he was physically disabled after all, so it was hard to help a fainted woman like this, so he let go and pushed the eldest princess down.
He may have used a little force, or it may be that the Yuanzan pen was too light, Liu Changning woke up after landing on the ground.
The woman blinked her eyes, her neck and head hurt badly, she stood up tremblingly only to realize that there was someone behind her.
Seeing her trembling, Qiao Yu shouted, "Come on!"
Liu Changning: "..."
No matter how he looked at it, Liu Changning felt that this scene was extremely familiar, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing!"
Qiao Yu smiled with his eyes bent, looking more innocent than Liu Changning. He said softly, "The princess was drunk and bumped her head against the rocks. I didn't have time to stop the princess. I watched the princess faint, so I was very worried, so I want to call someone over to bring His Highness back to the imperial physician to see if there is any injury on his body."
Liu Changning took a deep breath. The degree of her dislike for Qiao Yu was only inferior to Yuan Zan's pen. At this time, it was very difficult for her to maintain her demeanor and speak, "Where is Yuan Zan's pen?"
Qiao Yu was surprised and said, "Yuan Zanbi? What Yuan Zanbi, has Mr. Yuan been here? I didn't see him."
Liu Changning sneered and said, "You can't talk nonsense and turn black and white."
Qiao Yu was even more surprised. What surprised him was how could someone be more brazen than him. Under such circumstances, he could tell that he had turned black and white, so he said: "Then what should be the truth? Could it be that someone wants to belittle the princess? Did you knock the princess out?"
Liu Changning's face turned red and then pale.
Qiao Yu obviously heard it all.
Qiao Yu's voice was obviously much louder than Liu Changning's, and there were already hurried footsteps coming from not far away.
Liu Changning said suddenly: "You and Yuan Zanbi are working together, I have nothing to say, it's just Qiao Yu." Her face showed a sneer, "If you still have half a heart, you shouldn't forget why your parents died. die,"
Qiao Yu thought in her heart: Of course I know why they died.
Because of your good brother, Your Highness.
"For people like Yuan Zanbi to gain power, Mr. Qiao knows, and I don't know if he will hate himself for giving birth to such an unworthy descendant as Qiao Xiang."
Qiao Yu smiled softly, "Your Highness provoked me so much because he wanted me to join hands with His Highness to kill Yuan Zanbi together. Why bother to talk so complicated."
Liu Changning said: "If I say yes, what will you do?"
"No." Qiao Yu answered decisively, and he smiled shyly. It seemed that Liu Changning was not asking who he wanted to kill, but who he wanted to marry. She looked so much like a girl in a boudoir, and it made Liu Changning very uncomfortable to see her. She couldn't figure out why the emperor would reuse Qiao Yu, could it be because of his face?Although the beauty of the country is small, but in such a big country, it is impossible to find a few beauties with both talents and looks. Could it be that Qiao Yu is out of control? "Although I want to kill Yuan Zanbi, I want to kill him even in my dreams, but I will never allow anyone to kill him before I do."
Yuan Zan pen must, and can only die in his hands.
Qiao Yu even picked out the coffin and cemetery of Yuanzanbi, he has no eyesight, so how can he allow others to get involved in Yuanzanbi?
He smiled, "Princess Qing is good to take care of herself, don't play tricks on the courtiers."
Liu Changning said: "What if I want it?"
Qiao Yu pursed his lips and smiled very softly. He whispered to the princess: "Then I can only let the princess, and can't play Lord Yuan's idea."
It was a threat.
Liu Changning said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"
"How dare the minister."
Liu Changning looked Qiao Yu up and down, and smiled knowingly, "Whatever the Yuanzan pen promises to you, I can promise you as well."
Qiao Yu smiled sweetly, and her gestures and gestures looked more like a soft beauty than Liu Changning, the princess who grew up in the palace. "Yuan Bi said to marry me when things are done, can the princess marry me?"
Liu Changning was taken aback, and after a while he said disgustedly: "You are really crazy."
Of course she didn't believe Qiao Yu's words. If it wasn't for his status, he might be able to say what the third prince would marry him after the matter was completed.
It's just that he doesn't care what others think?Liu Changning has seen many beauties who serve others with their sex, either for the sake of fame, or for profit, or they can't help themselves, or they enjoy it, but there is no one as shameless as Qiao Yu, and he doesn't serve others with sex.
Qiao Yu is also very annoyed sitting here. He really wants to ask Yuan Zanbi why he found such a place with overgrown trees and near the pond, where there are mosquitoes and ants everywhere. After biting three or four bags, he fought with Liu Changning and went out to fight mosquitoes.
Liu Changning said: "Yuanshi Shilu Shiqing, you are different from him, helping him is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."
How could Qiao Yu not know that he and Yuan Zanbi are two kinds of people?Qiao Yu had heard this too much, so he smiled nonchalantly.
What about the two kinds of people?
He wants to kill Yuan Zanbi, but he doesn't want to marry Yuan Zanbi. Does he still want his childhood sweetheart to be right?
Qiao Yu hissed, and then said: "Is the princess okay?"
Someone came.
The leader was an old female officer, who hurriedly bowed down when she saw Qiao Yu and Liu Changning here.
"I just heard Qiao Xiang call someone, princess..."
With a dignified demeanor, Liu Changning said indifferently, "I'm fine, I just had a headache, which scared Qiao Xiang."
Qiao Yu said softly: "Since the princess is fine, the minister will go back first."
Liu Changning said, "Mr. Qiao, walk slowly."
Just as the little eunuch was about to push Qiao Yu away, a childish voice came from not far away, "Come here, tell the imperial physician!"
Liu Changning and Qiao Yu looked at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.
Liu Changning recognized the voice as the Ninth Prince Liu Fei, who was less than ten years old, and hurried over while asking someone to pass on the imperial physician.
Qiao Yu had no interest in who had the accident, and was about to leave when she suddenly remembered Yuan Zanbi.
Pass on the imperial physician?
Yes, the banquet is not over yet, Yuan Zanbi can't leave.
His expression changed, and he followed.
When Liu Changning caught a glimpse of Qiao Yu from the corner of his eye, he felt extremely disgusted.
"This is a royal family matter," Liu Changning said, "Qiao Xiang can go back."
Qiao Yu pushed back lightly and said, "Maybe it's the subject's family business, Your Highness."
Liu Changning suppressed his anger, "What does Qiao Xiang mean?"
The voice was clearly Liu Fei, what are you talking about about Qiao Yu's family?
A few people passed by, and Liu Changning saw Liu Fei whose face was as white as a sheet of frightened as expected, and a Yuanzan pen whose face was whiter than Liu Fei's.
Liu Fei was crying out of breath, Yuan Zanbi half-kneeled in front of him to coax him, his side face was astonishingly white under the lamp, when he heard the voice and turned his head, he looked a little helpless.
He didn't know how he got hurt, the blood in his hair had flowed down half of his face, dividing one face into two parts, one was pale, and the other was too bloody, it kept flowing down.
Yuan Zanbi obviously didn't expect to see these two people, and his expression became even more helpless.
A scented handkerchief fell on his head.
Liu Changning said blankly, "Wipe first."
The female official hurriedly took out the handkerchief, but Liu Changning looked at Yuan Zanbi with a cold expression. She hesitated for a moment, and the handkerchief was taken away by the princess and thrown over.
Although Liu Changning wished that Yuan Zan's pen would die, he couldn't show it too clearly at the moment, and he felt annoyed.
Qiao Yu liked to play with fans and handkerchiefs when he was young, and he was often said to be too rouge, and he did things his own way. Later, the world changed drastically, and he thought about everything he saw, so he simply didn't use it.I don't want to find something that is really useful today, and even I feel ridiculous for a while.
Qiao Yu said with a smile: "Your Highness said to let Mr. Yuan clean up."
Yuan Zanbi raised his hand stiffly and took off the handkerchief.
His fingers trembled violently, and after rubbing for a long time, blood was all over his face.
Qiao Yu stared coldly for a moment, then snatched the handkerchief away.
Yuan Zanbi raised his head, with surprise in his eyes.
Qiao Yu reached out and pinched his chin, and wiped away the blood on his face indiscriminately.
The wound was on the forehead. Qiao Yu wanted to press it, but maybe the smell of the handkerchief mixed with the smell of blood was too strange. He smelled uncomfortable, and he didn't want to smell more blood. After working on the wound for a long time, he carefully wiped off the blood around it. The blood seeped into the handkerchief and got on his fingertips.
He folded the handkerchief three times and pressed it lightly on the wound of Yuan Zanbi.
Qiao Yu bent down slightly, and whispered maliciously in Yuan Zanbi's ear: "The first day I found out the truth, it turns out that there will be a bloody battle in the palace with generals."
Yuan Zanbi smiled wryly, tilted his head and said in a low voice, "I didn't expect that either."
He spoke in a wheezy voice, out of breath.
Liu Changning said softly: "Xiao Jiu stopped crying, tell aunt what's wrong."
Liu Fei only grabbed Liu Changning's sleeve and sobbed softly, not daring to say what happened.
Rong Yinhuan quickly brought people over, but he didn't expect to see these people who shouldn't be here.
Rong Yinhuan saluted one by one first, and said: "Just now, the minister saw a black shadow turning over the wall and shot an arrow. Can you see any suspicious people?"
Yuan Zanbi took a breath, pointed to the tree, "Your Excellency's arrow is there."
The feather arrow pierced the tree and penetrated a few inches, which shows how powerful it is.
Rong Yinhuan reacted abruptly, knelt down and said: "The minister was negligent for a while and almost accidentally injured His Highness, please His Highness, please come down!"
Liu Changning listened to Rong Yin Huan's meaning, understood in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Commander Rong is for the safety of the palace, so there is nothing wrong with it. Commander Rong just said that there are suspicious people, so I don't need to stay here for a long time. It's over, let's go." She gently wiped the tears off Liu Fei's face, "Xiao Jiu, can you go back with Auntie?"
She turned her head and said to the female officer beside her: "Go over and tell me that my clothes are dirty, go back to the palace and change into new ones."
Liu Fei bumped into He Meiren just last month because of a fight, and He Meiren was banned for half a year. Presumably no one was watching and climbed up the wall to watch the fun. Rong Yinhuan thought it was an assassin who shot an arrow. This kind of thing was brought up in front of the emperor. There is no benefit to anyone, it is better to calm down.
Rong Yinhuan was her late husband's younger brother, so there was no need to make a big fuss because of emotion and reason.
Liu Fei nodded vigorously, and then whispered: "Father..."
Liu Changning comforted: "No one will tell your father, be obedient and stop crying."
Liu Fei wiped the tears off her face with her sleeve in peace of mind, and said, "That person."
"Who?"
"The person who dragged me just now." Liu Fei said, "That person dragged me off the wall, and I saw the arrow shoot through. I fell and hit him, and I didn't see the bruise on his face until he got up. Blood."
Liu Changning's fingers holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened, and he put it down after a while, and said flatly, "He's fine."
……
Yuan Zanbi can be regarded as Rong Yinhuan's superior in terms of rank, but he has never been in charge of the affairs of the front office. The two perform their own duties, and there is no dispute.
The man didn't respond when he took the bow and shot the arrow. Instead, the arrow was pulled down suddenly when he was about to shoot it. He thought he had an accomplice. Looking at the appearance of the Yuanzan pen, he thought he pulled the prince down and hurt himself.
Rong Yinhuan cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, my lord." Before Yuan Zanbi could speak, he asked someone to get the wound medicine he carried with him, "If it wasn't for your lord today, Rong would probably not be able to save his life."
Yuan Zanbi waved his hand lightly.
He looked too weak, not like a general.
Even the guards around Rong Yinhuan murmured in their hearts that although Yuan Zanbi was injured, he could not even be speechless, either because he was too arrogant or physically weak.
In fact, Yuan Zanbi was really wronged. He was almost irrational after being burned by those medicines. He even wanted to stab himself so that he could go back as soon as possible. He vaguely saw Liu Fei on the wall and heard the bow and arrow flying over. The sound of the wind dragged him down.
He overestimated himself and underestimated the efficacy of the medicine.
Now his body is both cold and hot, so cold that he lost blood, and so hot that he was medicined, and he was so dizzy that he couldn't even see clearly, and he really didn't have the extra strength to speak again.
And most importantly, he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, it would become a gasp.
Qiao Yu took the medicine over without any hassle.
The man was taken aback, and even Rong Yinhuan was taken aback.
Qiao Yu's fingers were very cold, there was no scar on his hand, it was cold and slippery, like a piece of ice, when the skin of Yuanzanbi was pasted on, Yuanzanbi snorted, and said forcefully, "I can do it myself. "
Qiao Yu didn't care at all, and complained: "The imperial doctor hasn't come yet, so he is preparing the birthday materials for your body? Yo, this is slow, and it will definitely make Mr. Yuan a grand funeral."
Yuan Zanbi could only smile wryly.
Qiao Yu felt cold all over his body, he was dizzy, and he couldn't help but lean forward, but he still had a little bit of reason, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he resisted it and remained motionless.
If he really posted it now, he would have no way to explain it. Although he and Qiao Yu have no clear names, after all, the court has not said that they are working together.
Qiao Yu focused on treating the wound on Yuan Zanbi's forehead. The wound was not deep, but narrow and long. Yuan Zanbi lowered his eyes and looked very well-behaved. Let's see how the Yuanzan pen will react.
Yuan Zan's face was bloodless, and his body was terribly hot, and he couldn't say anything, he just wanted to go back to Yuan Mansion as soon as possible.
Qiao Yu was rubbing medicine on him when the half-kneeling Yuanzan pen fell on his knee.
Only then did Qiao Yu feel how hot he was.
Rong Yinhuan was also taken aback, and immediately came to Fu Yuan Zanbi.
Yuan Zanbi's body was so hot that Rong Yin Huan was startled, his first reaction was to touch Yuanzanbi's face to see if it was hot.
Yuan Zanbi said vaguely: "Go back to Yuan Mansion."
Rong Yinhuan said: "Come here, send Lord Yuan out of the palace."
Rong Yinhuan felt that Qiao Yu looked at him a little strangely.
He tilted his head and realized that Qiao Yu wasn't looking at him at all, but was looking at the person who helped away the Yuanzan pen.
Rong Yinhuan was even more strange.
Qiao Yu reached out to brush off the folds on the official uniform, and when he adjusted the position of his knees, he paused.
"Go back." Qiao Yu said.
The little eunuch pushed Qiao Yu back as promised.
……
When Liu Changning returned to the palace banquet, he only saw Qiao Yu alone, but he did not see Yuan Zanbi.
She sat down, and Liu Anping toasted her with a suppressed smile.
Liu Changning picked it up, and knowingly asked, "Why don't you see Mr. Yuan?"
Finally Liu Anping couldn't hold back any longer, and whispered while laughing: "Master Qiao said that Master Yuan drank too much, hit a rock, and went home for treatment."
Liu Changning hummed, and said, "Why don't you invite the imperial physician?"
Liu Anping said: "Master Qiao said please, Master Qiao has come back, only to see the imperial doctor rushing over."
Qiao Yu might have restrained herself, and didn't say in public that she went to collect the corpse.
Liu Anping said: "Lord Qiao also said that he didn't tell the imperial physician not to go there, let's see if the imperial physician thinks the injured man ran away by himself."
Liu Changning glanced at Qiao Yu from the corner of his eye.
Qiao Yu was talking happily with someone, with smiles on his face and eyes.
Beauty and fine wine are always similar, just looking at them seems to make you drunk.
Liu Anping glanced at Qiao Yu, turned around again, and said in a low voice, "If, if Your Majesty really wants me to marry Mr. Yuan, what can I do?"
Liu Changning said: "Yuan Zan pen is not a good match."
Liu Anping was about to nod, when Liu Changning said, "Even less so is Qiao Yu."
Even if Yuan Zanbi was dismissed from office, he would just be idle at home. If Qiao Yu lost power, he would definitely die without a whole body.
Liu Anping said angrily: "Why? Because he has a flamboyant personality and is not liked by many people? Qiao Yu is proud of his talent, what's wrong with his temper?"
Liu Changning whispered: "Because it is your father's sword, you can marry your father's courtiers, but you must not marry your father's sword. His Majesty will not use this sword in the future, and he does not want to marry it." Let others use it, you say, what will His Majesty do with you?"
Liu Anping's face turned pale.
Liu Changning looked at Liu Anping and said pitifully, "Anping, Your Majesty is doing it for your own good."
Liu Anping turned his head to look at Qiao Yu.
This time it was the third prince who was joking with Qiao Yu, and that official had gone somewhere.
Liu Yao said: "Yuan Zanbi really got drunk and broke his head?"
Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Really."
Liu Yao laughed and said: "I believe such words on others, but I don't believe a word on Yuan Zanbi."
Qiao Yu said seriously: "The minister can only tell His Highness the truth."
Liu Yao said: "Mr. Qiao, please tell me."
Qiao Yu clung to his ear and said seriously: "It was the minister who beat me."
Perhaps Liu Yao's disbelief was too obvious, Qiao Yu also added, "I'm drunk, and Master Yuan is also drunk. When I saw him, old and new hatred came to my heart, and I couldn't hold back. beated."
The way the two of them spoke quietly was so obvious that even the prince and the fifth prince looked over.
Seeing Qiao Yu's posture, Liu Changning felt even more disgusted.
Liu Yao was stunned, "Mr. Qiao?"
If it wasn't for Qiao Yu's identity and his relationship with Qiao Yu, you would have almost blurted it out.
Qiao Yu repeated it firmly, "I beat you." Seeing Liu Yao's face full of doubts, "Your Highness doesn't believe me?"
Liu Yao said awkwardly, "I believe it, I believe it."
Liu Yao returned to his seat.
Qiao Yu was quiet for a while, sitting there by herself, concentrating on playing with the jade pears in her sleeves.
The jade was warm and moist, sticking to his fingers.
Although the skin of the Yuanzan pen is not as moist as jade, it is also smooth.
Yuli was held in his hand.
Qiao Yu lowered her eyes.
I don't know how the Yuanzan pen is doing now?
Although the palace banquets were boring before, they had never made him so anxious - he really wanted to see Yuan Zanbi's distressed appearance.
Qiao Yu fiddled with Li's hand for a while.
But there is no legal principle that says that the Yuanzan pen must be endured.
How can he be sure that Yuan Zanbi is at home in a state of embarrassment at the moment, and not the Furong tent warming the spring night?
The dancer danced gracefully, and Qiao Yu's mood changed from dull to pins and needles.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager is getting old, it's not too late, and the birthday banquet has almost come to an end.
The queen accompanied the empress dowager to leave first, and all the officials stood up and kowtowed.
Among this group of people, Qiao Yu who was still sitting was very conspicuous.
The Empress Dowager kept her eyes on Qiao Yu, almost fascinated.
The queen secretly wondered in her heart, the young people of the aristocratic family are much more handsome, why don't the empress dowager look so intently at who? "Qiao Yu is physically disabled." She thought the Empress Dowager was looking at Qiao Yu because of this, "His Majesty granted him permission not to kneel."
The Empress Dowager said: "Is there a physical disability? This child was born with broken legs?"
How can the queen say that she was imprisoned in a quiet room and interrupted?
She nodded and said, "Yes."
The Empress Dowager didn't say anything, not even a pity.
The queen breathed a sigh of relief, and helped the empress dowager out.
The empress dowager has left, and the emperor has no plans to stay for a long time. He has always been a person who likes grand ostentation but gets tired of watching it after a while. This sentence let everyone leave the main hall freely.
It was like this every year, and the courtiers were already used to it, going out in twos and threes, and there were a few adults greeting each other on the spot.
The third prince didn't know what to say to the prince, both of them had smiles on their faces, and their words and demeanor were extremely intimate, as if the scene of wishing the other party would die tomorrow never existed before.
Qiao Yu was about to leave when the crown prince called him, "Qiao Xiang."
Qiao Yu sat in the wheelchair for a long time before showing a face that didn't smile, "His Royal Highness, Third Prince."
The third prince didn't seem to see his expression at all, and said: "The prince and I want to go back to my house for another drink. Would you like to go with Qiao Xiang?"
The third prince didn't know what was wrong with the prince who wanted to drink at his house, he couldn't refuse, but he didn't want to, so he had to bring Qiao Yu along.
Qiao Yu and the third prince are well known in the government and the public. Even if they have nothing to do with each other, as the third prince, Qiao Yu should not refuse as a minister.
Qiao Yu said: "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness, I am very flattered." The crown prince raised his eyebrows, already anticipating what Qiao Yu would say next, "It's just that I'm not feeling well tonight, I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Highness's kindness."
No matter who Qiao Yu refuses, it's just a physical discomfort that changes the soup without changing the medicine. When it is the most perfunctory, at most he can say what is the discomfort.
The third prince couldn't help but said, "Do you want this palace to pass on the imperial physician to Qiao?"
Qiao Yu said politely, "I dare not bother Your Highness."
The prince smiled and said, "Since Qiao Xiang is not feeling well, let's go back quickly."
The third prince said: "His Royal Highness is very right, Qiao Xiang should come back soon."
Qiao Xiang and the two said goodbye one by one before leaving the main hall.
Many people on the road wanted to say hello to him, but they were all taken aback by Qiao Xiang's expression as if he was about to raise a knife to kill his deadly enemy in a sea of blood.
"Are you going back home, my lord?"
Qiao Yu said without hesitation, "Go to Yuan Mansion."
