After my death, my ex-husband ruled the world

Chapter 100 Two Pots of Imperial Spring

The figure of Yu Lian's master and servant disappeared. In the garden, Shuo Feng and Cheng Yao did not dare to plead for Yue Gou, who remained in a half-kneeling position.

A handsome man in a snow-white robe stood on a small pavilion high in the garden. His figure was like a rock on a solitary mountain, tall and graceful. His eyebrows were slender and sharp, and his face was cold. Standing there, he didn't speak. People dare to speak first.

He looked at the gorgeous and delicate peony, and could see that the most delicate one had been broken off. He remembered just now that the girl had a gorgeous peony in her hair.

Pei Huaian peeked in the direction where Yu Lian disappeared, but she was no longer visible.

When she left, the slender figure was reflected on the ground, pulling out a graceful figure, more beautiful than flowers.

He turned back and said: "Get up, don't be so reckless in doing things in the future."

This sentence was said to Yue Gou.

Yue Gou bowed his hands and said, "Yes."

He stood up, Governor Pei's cold eyes swept over him, waiting for his answer.Yuegou got to the point, and said seriously: "Master, the Tong family has already taken action, dispatching [-] soldiers and horses from the frontier to the capital."

Pei Huaian glanced at Yue Gou and said, "I already knew that this is the reason why you returned to Beijing. What else?"

After Zhaoyang's death, Yue Gou was sent to the frontier and was responsible for collecting frontier intelligence. He was not allowed to return to Beijing without orders.

Now, he came back by himself.

At that time, Pei Huai'an did not give him the order to kill Zhaoyang. Yu Wende came to look for Pei Huai'an on the eve of the mutiny, and borrowed Yueguo for a few days, only to protect him. Zhaoyang died.

After this incident, when Pei Huai'an saw him that day, he seemed to be in a daze. He actually pulled out his Cangming Sword and slashed Yue Gou with his sword, causing the wound on his forehead.

Come back to your senses.

Pei Huai'an's long sword fell from his hand, and he realized what he had done.

That's right, he sent Yu Wende the person. Everyone knows that he hates Zhaoyang for his usual attitude towards Zhaoyang, and Yuegou will kill her, so he is also responsible.

That day, he said to Yuegou: "You enter Tianhe Pavilion and be responsible for collecting information on the frontier, and you are not allowed to return to Beijing without my order."

In a blink of an eye, almost four years have passed.

Yue Gou returned to the capital by himself.

Only the two parties involved knew about this matter.Shuo Feng and Cheng Yao only knew that after Yue Gou killed Zhao Yang, he was transferred to be in charge of border affairs. They didn't know any other reason, so they just thought the governor sent someone to avoid the limelight.

Yuegou's expression was not very good, just stood up, and knelt down again: "Please forgive me, Governor, Tong Xiangming sent back [-] troops to attack the capital, and his subordinates were worried about the safety of the Governor, so they rashly returned to Beijing to protect the Governor. , my grandmother is critically ill, and I want to go back to Beijing to see her one last time."

The man standing in the small pavilion did not speak. He glanced at Shuofeng. Shuofeng understood and said: "According to the eight rules of Tianhe Pavilion No. 20: Those who leave their posts without permission are given fifty sticks. Those who cause heavy losses in the pavilion are given five sticks. One hundred. Can you accept the punishment?"

His words were clearly imprinted in Yue Gou's ears.

If everyone had a reason to leave, would Crane Pavilion still be operating normally that day?
No rules no standards.

The rules set by Tianhe Pavilion are still too benevolent, and other organizations will kill them directly.

Yuegou knew about this, since he came back, he must be prepared, "This subordinate accepts the punishment."

Shuo Feng released the water for him and said in the words of the ripples of the lake in his heart: "If I think of you, I will not make a big mistake, just fifty sticks."

"Yes."

The kneeling man accepted the punishment, but did not get up.

He was waiting for the governor's words.

Pei Huaian turned around and left, leaving behind a message: "Now that you're back, let's wait in Tianhe Pavilion first."

"I obey," Yue Gou replied respectfully.

After the governor's figure disappeared, he got up and went to accept the punishment.

Pei Huaian did not return to Yuqing Courtyard, but went to Jinhua Courtyard by mistake. Shuo Feng and Cheng Yao no longer followed. The governor had ordered that they did not have to follow him and Yu Xianglian during the time they spent together, and they retreated.

The spring breeze is gentle, the wind is sunny, and on the courtyard wall with white walls and gray tiles, a few crabapple branches lean across the white wall, casting mottled flower shadows on the lonely figure of the man.

He stood quietly in front of the courtyard door without making any next move.

What can he say?It is a fact that Yuegou was sent by him to help Yu Wende, and the actions of his subordinates also represent him.

In Zhaoyang's eyes, these were Pei Huai'an's orders.

It was very quiet inside the Jinhua Courtyard, not a single sound came from it.

Pei Huai stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, a few swallows flitted over the high eaves, and flew into the distance, the chirping of the birds interrupted his silence, and he suddenly realized that he did not give Yuegou the order to kill her.

So there is no need to feel any discomfort.

He knocked on the black door.

No one answered inside, it was quiet.

He jumped over the high wall with light work, entered the courtyard, and walked unhurriedly into the hall. The doors were open and there was no one there.

Then to the main room and the side room, there is no one.

Pei Huai'an left the courtyard and called the hidden guards to ask, only to find out that she had left the Dudu's Mansion.That's right, he didn't set a rule for her not to leave the house.

the other side.

After Yu Lian used Qinggong to leave the Dudu's Mansion, she didn't know where to go and walked aimlessly on the street. She didn't want to go back to the Dudu's Mansion yet.

A four-storey attic with carved beams and paintings came into her eyes.

The three characters of "Fuqufang" are written on a black tablet door, and there are two large stone lion statues at the entrance of the square.

Princess Zhaoyang has been here many times, but the reborn 'Yu Xianglian' has not been here yet.

She stepped inside.

A clever waiter came up to him and said with a flattering smile: "Girl, are you alone?"

This waiter was not the waiter who originally received her.

Also, she has been dead for a few years, so it is not surprising that the waiters in this building have changed several times.

Yu Lian nodded, and said to Xiaoer in a low voice: "I want a private room, two pots of Huangduchun, and two of your signature dishes."

"Okay, guest, please invite me to the Mingyue Room on the second floor." The waiter pointed to the stairs enthusiastically.

She walked up to the second floor, where other waiters were already waiting. She entered the 'Mingyue Chamber' and closed the door.

Half-open sill windows, enamel porcelain vases, Guanghan wooden seven-panel couch, and Eight Immortals crossing the sea screen~
As before, nothing has changed.

Yu Lian sat alone by the window and looked towards the street. There were few pedestrians here, only lonely pedestrians in twos and threes, just like before.

None of this has changed.

She was always the only one who changed.

She went from the aloof Princess Zhaoyang to a concubine who was choked by Pei Huaian.

From a chess player to a chess piece.

Chunyan was worried about Princess Zhaoyang and kept following her. When the princess entered the Mingyue Chamber, she silently stood guard at the door of the chamber, as before.

Soon, Huangdu Spring Wine was served, Chunyan didn't stop, Xiaoer brought it in, and within a short while, two Fuqufang's signature dishes were served.
