Chapter five hundred and seventy two
Since leading the army to the south and bringing back four families that were once quite renowned in Northern Yan, Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan did not immediately rise to the top of the world, but initially they only regained their posts and returned to the front line in the north, but they still received the honor of being given the title of Jinling. Then, like other generals, they left their eldest son in the capital.
But Liu Jingxuan did not leave many people by his eldest son. In the Liu Mansion in Jinling City, he only left three personal soldiers to accompany Liu Fangyuan. But these three people were the most trusted generals. Liu Fangyuan took them with him when he chased Yan Xu, the head of the Xuandao Hall, to leave Jinling. So if the Liu Mansion is eliminated without mentioning the nominal ownership right, it can actually be called a royal villa.
Because everyone left behind the Liu Mansion was all allocated by the emperor. As for the people who selected this group of people... they are the real harem manager and the housekeeper of the inner palace, Princess Dongyang. Usually these people respectfully respect Liu Fangyuan, and obey him, and follow everything. It is difficult for others to notice this, but today when Yue Qianqiu dismounted at the door, his feelings were very different.
Because the servants I saw along the way were certainly not blocking the way and respectfully called the Ninth Prince, the sharp gaze that examined and evaluated whether he was carrying weapons and other destructive indexes was very different from the gentle and harmless gaze that used to look at the young master and his close friend. This feeling reached the highest point when he called someone to come and ask Xiao Qingqing where he lived.
"Palace Master Xiao is in Xihuaju. Her subordinates are all placed in four side courtyards around Xihuaju. They can send people to accompany you every day, but so far, Palace Master Xiao has never made such a request and is not picky about diet and medicine." After saying this, the housekeeper of the Liu family who Yue Qianqiu had seen more than once bowed respectfully again.
"The Ninth Prince is here just the right time today, and the Emperor said he will come here later. Although the inside and outside the mansion have been fully prepared, I also asked the Ninth Prince to tell the Lord Xiao that she would stay in the house with peace of mind and not cause any misunderstandings. After all, the eldest princess will not allow any mistakes when she is accompanied by the Emperor herself."
Yue Qianqiu was originally coming to seek punishment, but when he heard this, he was speechless. No wonder he told Mr. Yue that he was going to see Pei Xu and Xiao Qingqing before leaving the palace, his grandfather smiled so cunningly. It turned out that it was because he had known such news long ago!
He was a little depressed and took a deep breath, stopped his urge to curse, and then asked, "Where is the King of Jin?"
Although Old Master Yue mentioned Xiao Qingqing to Xiao Jingxian that he would cut off the clue in the future, he did not believe that Xiao Jingxian was willing to cut off the clue. However, what he unexpectedly expected was that the butler shook his head.
"His Highness of King Jin has never been here, nor has anyone sent to ask about the condition of Palace Master Xiao."
"Who else is there with Lord Xiao?"
"Zhou Zongzhu went back to Wuying Pavilion, and Miss Song accompanied the young palace master. There were also two imperial doctors from the Imperial Medical Office living in the east wing, ready to be diagnosed and treated in time if there were any problems."
The imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Office have arrived, but Song Jianjia is still there?
Yue Qianqiu no longer had to ask too much and immediately asked someone to lead the way. After all, the Liu Mansion was so big that he had no impression of this place called Xihuaju. Sure enough, when he followed the butler around and finally came to a secluded yard. Looking at the three words Xihuaju on the moon gate, he felt that he had come to the wrong place.
The Liu Mansion, which is full of martial arts performance venues and horse racing, still has such an elegant and quiet virgin land?
Does Liu Fangyuan, the owner, know? Isn’t this a garden that no one knows about Liu’s mansion? Then, when renovating Liu’s mansion, a passage was left. This time, it was the first time that the door was opened and Xiao Qingqing lived in?
Of course, Yue Qianqiu didn't know that his guess was almost the reality, because when the villa was first allocated to the Liu Mansion, he did leave a small area to surround him alone. As for the neighbors next to him... who would know how big the villa belonging to the royal family was, did it be completely rewarded to Liu Jingxuan, and whether it was created a different world during the renovation?
When he stepped into Xihuaju, Song Jianjia and Xiao Jingjing came out of a two-story building with unique shapes one behind and one behind. Xiao Jingjing in front lowered his head, as if he had cried, while Song Jianjia behind seemed to be comforting her. The two little girls of similar age did not see him. Of course, it may be because his steps were too light and he was like a thief.
"Beijing, stop crying. My medical skills were not included in Huichunguan, and those imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Department may not have many real skills. Your mother must be pretending to be sick and scaring people, but she was scared into you, as a daughter!"
"Woooo..." Xiao Jingjing sobbed, until Song Jianjia turned around and simply blocked her and pressed her shoulders. She simply threw herself into the other party's arms. "Mom always has not appeared in front of me for a while. It's because I occasionally bumped into her and got sick, so I will chase her out with that excuse this time!"
As she said that, tears couldn't stop falling down, wetting Song Jianjia's clothes: "What if she is really sick? What if she is not scared us? Sister Song, tell me the truth, just from the pulse pattern, is my mother sick?"
Song Jianjia immediately stammered. If she had used her medical skills, even if she had not invited Su Shiqi over, she would have believed that this was a sign of being terminally ill.
But since old Master Yue and Ye Guanghan, nobles like King Jin who came from Northern Yan and were also promising in Dawu almost thought that Xiao Qingqing's illness was not very real, and Xiao Jingjing was even more unwilling to believe that her mother was really about to die, so she had a headache.
The most important thing is that the two imperial doctors spoke very vividly, silenced people's hearts in the air. Even though these two medical skills are indeed quite exquisite, she despised this too slippery character and couldn't help but belittle them inside and outside.
Therefore, she could only say vaguely: "It seems that she is weak, but no matter what, as long as she is well recuperated and takes medicine properly, it will be cured. It is not a big disease!"
Just when Song Jianjia gritted her teeth to comfort Xiao Jingjing, she didn't notice that a figure had already passed by the two of them and quietly flashed into the door behind her. She just hugged Xiao Jingjing and quickly walked to the west wing, feeling a little indescribable pity for this new good friend. After all, she had also endured the grief of the elders of the master who were very good to her when they passed away.
When the footsteps outside disappeared and avoided meeting the two little girls, Yue Qianqiu turned around and walked in. He was a little surprised that there were no maid guards and other people guarding him, but even if he was confused, he did not stop walking in. Until he set up a curtain and saw clearly the figure leaning on the bed and looking at him, he took a breath.
How long has it been... Is it ten days and half a month? Why did the witch who once fascinated many people with such traits become thin and haggard?
Xiao Qingqing smiled mockingly, and the reversal of the past could be vaguely seen in that smile: "I'm surprised that I have today, right?"
Yue Qianqiu was just a little dazed and got rid of the strange situation where his eyes were firmly attracted. Thinking about the previous embarrassing experience, it was so easy now. From this point, he felt that if it weren't for Xiao Qingqing's release, then her attractiveness that charmed all living beings would be much worse than before.
But what if this is just to attract the emperor to come here in person? Of course, if this is true, as long as Xiao Qingqing did not appear in Wuying Hall, she would control her ability even if she appeared. As long as she suddenly appeared in front of the emperor, even a emperor who had countless beauty would easily take the bait. However, since there were variables like Emperor Beiyan, it would be impossible for the emperor of Dawu to not be involved in the trap.
Since its first day of birth, creatures like the emperor have been constantly incurring accidents.
With countless thoughts rolling in his mind, Yue Qianqiu decided to grasp the direction of the conversation. He moved a chair and sat four or five feet away from the bed. Then he said bluntly: "Before, Pei Xu's nephew instigated the scholar to arrest Qin Er's uncle and meet the third prince, and then beat people; his son asked his disciples to contact Nie Erzhu to kill me; asked Pei Hui's concubine to stab him and set fire to the house; asked Shen Zheng to catch me to finally trap himself. All of this is you making a fool behind your back, is that right?"
Speaking of this, he shouted softly without waiting for Xiao Qingqing to answer: "Xiao Qingqing, you are very smart and powerful, but why do you think that the people you control cannot settle the score with you because they do not know your existence, and the people who benefit from it will let you go? Do you know, from ancient times to the present, what will happen to those who play with people's hearts in the end?"
"If Pei Nanxu had not been to climb up, he would not have been able to make a fool of himself; if Pei Xu's stupid son was not to please his father, he would not have been able to gamble; if Pei Hui had not been greedy, he would not have been able to be retaliated by women; if Shen Zheng had not only believed in himself, he would not have hit the stone with an egg. I didn't even put down the small weight at the end of the scale rod, I just blew a breath, and they were the ones who made the choice."
"Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be marquis!" Using these eight words as the conclusion, blocking Yue Qianqiu's question, Xiao Qingqing described it indifferently, "What's more, I don't need you to be happy, I don't need you to be satisfied, because this is the ending that Emperor Nanwu and your grandfather are both satisfied."
Just when Yue Qianqiu was so angry that he wanted to curse, he suddenly felt a few auras appearing nearby, two of which were very familiar. However, it was not in front of the door, but behind the wall. He had just moved his heart, and the next moment, a voice came over.
"Because you are very satisfied with this result, I feel very satisfied. The more I am very satisfied with the appearance, isn't it too conceited to judge others by yourself?"
With this sound, a wall moved away silently. Then, two guards he had never seen before took the lead. Then, the emperor and the eldest princess of Dongyang bent forward and backward, entering the room from the small door that suddenly appeared, and finally followed the two guards.
Yue Qianqiu hurriedly jumped up to salute, but the emperor waved his hand to stop him, and his eyes fell on Xiao Qingqing's face for a moment. Although the once glamorous face now looks thin and haggard due to illness, when he looked at the emperor, Xiao Qingqing seemed to be unaffected by the words just now, and her eyes were as clear and sharp as if she was invisible.
"I've seen you."
Yue Qianqiu, who was thinking about what the emperor would say next, suddenly heard these simple four words. He couldn't help but be stunned. Then he immediately wondered if he wanted to take the leave on an excuse, but immediately he found that his reaction was still too slow, because the memories of Emperor Wu came too quickly and quickly.
"You are Princess Huoshan, Beiyan?" The emperor's words were anxious and fast, revealing a rare shock and anger, "So who is she? Who was she that I met back then?"
Back then... Could it be that the emperor of Dawu had an affair with the dead queen of Beiyan?
Yue Qianqiu had already fully understood that he had really heard of something extraordinary. He couldn't help but look at Princess Dongyang as if he was asking for help, but he saw that the elder who had always taken great care of him was completely on Xiao Qingqing at this moment, and he was not distracted at all. He knew that he would be better off leaving quietly, but his feet were motionless as if they had roots.
"You have guessed who she is, why do you still ask me?"
Faced with Xiao Qingqing's retort, the emperor's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and said firmly: "That's impossible! When I first met her, she was only 28 years old. After many years, she had seen each other again. She has always dressed up as an unmarried daughter..."
The emperor's words finally came to an abrupt end because he saw Xiao Qingqing's mocking eyes. Obviously, it was too funny to believe that a woman Yunying was not married just because of the so-called dress of an unmarried daughter.
However, he and she only spent Wushan once together, but because they had not seen each other for many years, he met again. He was nearly 40 years old, and she was almost thirty years old, but she still looked so gorgeous. After talking overnight, he couldn't help but feel that experience was like a dream. How could he confirm whether the woman who had been worried about it for a long time was perfect?
Looking back at the beginning of meeting, she was similar to the lady he wanted when he was an adult, but she was not as weak as that lady. Instead, she became more tenacious and elegant, self-reliant and self-reliant. He thought that in the past, he could not be able to establish the queen and accept the concubine, but because his sweetheart was too weak, he married away immediately after being threatened by the empress dowager. Later, he even complained that Ai died early, and cherished the confidante he met very much. But how did he think that the experience of the accidental encounter was probably designed by others from beginning to end?
