Concubine like a house

Chapter 169 The old people and old grievances turned into treasures (3)
He Lianqi's hands were hidden in his sleeves and clenched tightly, restraining himself not to touch Chuxiu, he confessed urgently: "Han Chu, I don't need anything, can you give me another chance? Let's leave together .”

leave?Chuxiu was very surprised, and felt dumbfounded: "Your Excellency misses his wife so much, it seems that he is out of order. I will not accompany you as a concubine."

"Han Chu!" He Lianqi hurriedly blocked her way, and said hoarsely, "I really regret it, if I had the courage back then, you wouldn't..."

"You didn't have the courage back then, but now that you have two sons and daughters and shoulder the heavy responsibility of the family, you have the courage instead?" Chuxiu smiled mockingly, and looked at him with compassion, "He Lianqi, you are more shameful than Mingying, It makes me look down on you even more. If you have self-knowledge, don't come here to make trouble. If you dare to say a word, collect the body for Mrs. Ming!"

Collecting the corpse... This threat finally made He Lianqi wake up, he understood Mrs. Chuxiu's method.So, he had no choice but to hold back his love, and uttered six words with difficulty: "Thank you, Ma'am."

"The concubine will not be sent away." Chu Xiu Ning said these words in a voice, and left coldly.

Chuxiu walked steadily and resolutely, she knew that He Lianqi was watching her from behind, but she would not look back, nor did she bother to look back.When she was Hanchu, she was humble, cowardly, self-pitying and hurting herself; now she is Mrs. Chuxiu, she has already strengthened her mind and reborn herself.

In the bustling but deserted waiting room, only He Lianqi was left looking at her back.

Some people have come all the way and have already been reborn;

Some people are standing still, indulging in memories and unable to extricate themselves...

When He Lianqi left Yun Mansion, it was past lunch time.After going out of Xiucao, he ordered Yunfeng to prepare the car - she was going to visit Prince Cheng's Mansion.Not only about Mingying, but Chuxiu is more worried about Nie Peixiao herself.

Did he guess the Queen Mother Ye's intentions?Did he foresee this ending?Can he bear the pain of losing a loved one?

The carriage rumbled along, driving from the north to the south of the city. On the way out of Xiuxiu, many thoughts flashed in front of my eyes: for a while, Mrs. Tai was crying and lamenting; Delirious, with maggots all over his body; and Nie Pei playing the flute in the rain, begging for forgiveness...

Thinking all the way, sighing all the way, finally arrived at the gate of Prince Cheng's mansion, but Chuxiu suddenly didn't dare to go in to meet Nie Peixiao... I have already said "cut your sleeves and cut off your bosom friend", and even sent a piece of paper under the guise of the Empress Dowager Ye's hand. Duanxian, is it too hypocritical to care about his current situation now?

Chuxiu struggled in the car for a while, but finally decided to give up, and ordered to the driver: "Turn around and go home!"

"Yes." The coachman didn't ask any further questions, he waved his whip and prepared to turn around.

Just at this time, Zhu Ying's low voice echoed outside the car: "Madam, Feng Fei, King Cheng's bodyguard, is here."

So Chuxiu had no choice but to change his mind, got out of the car and smiled at Feng Fei: "I came here uninvited, I hope Guard Feng will forgive me."

"Where is Madam, please come in quickly." Feng Fei stretched out his hand to invite Xiang Chuxiu, and the two stepped across the threshold side by side to Nie Peixiao's study.Bamboo Shadow followed behind.

"If madame comes one day later, I won't be able to see His Highness." Feng Fei said as he walked.

Chuxiu already guessed Nie Peixiao's whereabouts: "Your Highness is going to Jingzhou?"

"I really can't hide it from Madam." Feng Fei sighed heavily, "Madam must have heard the news of the marriage. Your Highness is in a bad mood today, and you came just in time."

Chuxiu didn't answer, and Feng Fei didn't say anything more when he saw this, and they walked to the door of the study together in silence.It wasn't until this time that Feng Fei said again in a low voice: "Last time I offended you at the mansion, I hope Madam can't be blamed."

If the other party hadn't mentioned it, Chuxiu would have almost forgotten that Feng Fei visited her a few months ago, pointing out that she refused to see Nie Peixiao ruthlessly, and finally left angrily.

"Feng Shiwei is polite. At that time, the concubine was rude, and I am very ashamed."

Feng Fei waved his hand, then pointed to the door of the study: "His Royal Highness is in the room."

"Thank you." Chuxiu nodded slightly in thanks, signaling Zhuying to stay outside the door, and she went into the study alone.As soon as he entered the room, there was a strong and pungent smell of alcohol.Chuxiu subconsciously looked for Nie Peixiao: "Your Highness?"

"You're here..." A hoarse and deep voice sounded slowly, it was actually in the corner behind the screen against the wall!Chuxiu followed the sound and looked for it. Just as he walked around the screen, he kicked a flagon with a "boom".

She lowered her eyebrows and saw that there were several wine jugs scattered all over the floor, while Nie Peixiao was leaning against the wall with half of her body leaning against the screen, holding a half-empty wine jug in her right hand - it can be seen that his right hand is not completely useless up.

The decree of the marriage was only issued this morning, even if the Yun family was not the first to get the news, it would not be much later than the Cheng Palace.But in just half a day, Nie Peixiao drank so many jugs of wine in the study, which showed that he had already guessed the situation in the palace.

"Your Highness, drinking alcohol hurts your health." Chuxiu bent down and tried to snatch the jug from Nie Peixiao's hand, but the other party held it tightly, and she failed.

I couldn't open my mouth to intercede for Mingying, so I could only calm down Nie Peixiao first: "I heard from Guard Feng that you are leaving for Jingzhou tomorrow, so why don't you rest earlier?"

Nie Peixiao put the wine jug in his hand on the ground, and the fine wine spilled out from the spout, splashing on the screen with splashed ink on the landscape.He wanted to get up, but felt powerless, so he had to maintain the original posture and raised his eyes to see Xiu.

"You're right to reject me, I'm a waste." Fortunately, Nie Peixiao's mind was clear, she stroked her forehead and said in self-defeating, "I can't even protect my mother..."

"Your Highness is worrying too much." Chu Xiu patiently persuaded, "There is still room for change in this matter, you should quickly come up with a countermeasure, so that you can go to Beijing to discuss with the Holy One."

"I have already edited a letter and sent it to Beijing to tell the emperor my decision." Nie Peixiao said with a wry smile, "I will not marry Xie Peili anymore. I will marry whoever he asks me to marry, as long as I don't hurt my mother."

"In this case, you can't drink anymore. If you are drunk, who will save the empress dowager?" Chuxiu tried to help Nie Peixiao get up from the ground. The latter also seemed very obedient, but he sat for too long and drank too much. Many, the footsteps are a little unsteady.

With a loud bang, Nie Peixiao staggered and brought her out of Xiuxiu, and the two of them collapsed the screen together and lay on their backs.Chuxiu didn't feel any pain, because Nie Peixiao made a human mat.

"Your Highness! Are you alright?" Chuxiu was taken aback and sat up quickly.

And Nie Peixiao just opened her handsome eyes blankly, and slowly shook her head: "I'm fine."

At the same time, two voices asked immediately outside the room: "Your Highness (Madam)?" It was Feng Fei and Zhu Ying, but they wisely didn't come in.

Chuxiu was afraid that they would see this distressed look, so she hurriedly replied: "It's okay. I accidentally kicked the screen down."

The two people outside the house didn't talk anymore, Chuxiu reached out to help Nie Peixiao, but the latter refused: "Let me lie down."

If Nie Peixiao cried bitterly, Chuxiu might be able to comfort him; if the other party was calm and calm, she could also discuss countermeasures with him.But Nie Peixiao was half gaffe and half calm, and she was neither noisy nor noisy, so she was helpless about it.

The two were relatively silent for a long time before Nie Peixiao asked slowly, "Why are you looking for me?"

Chuxiu was silent.

"Are you worried about me?" Nie Peixiao asked again.

Chuxiu still didn't answer.If you say yes, you are afraid to give him hope in vain; if you say no, you are afraid that he will be even more sad.

"If you are willing to come and see me, I am already satisfied." Nie Peixiao lay there like a corpse, lifeless all over her body.Chuxiu sat beside him, and she also gave up the etiquette and reserve of being Yun's daughter-in-law. At this moment, she was just a listener, standing from the perspective of a "confidant".

"This time you're going to Beijing, don't conflict with the Holy Majesty..." Chuxiu couldn't help but reminded.

Nie Peixiao smiled: "Brother Huang's temper, I know better than you."

Chuxiu lowered her eyebrows and sighed, explaining embarrassingly: "This marriage is too sensitive, and it involves Xie's family, so Yun's presumably won't interfere."

"I understand." Nie Peixiao replied these three words.

After the words fell, Chuxiu suddenly became at a loss, and couldn't find a topic to continue for a while.Nie Peixiao laughed again, mocking herself: "You really came to see me?"

Chuxiu was startled, not knowing what he meant.

"Has Helian Qi visited you?"

"You know all about it?"

"He wanted to go to Fangzhou Prison to visit the prison on the basis of several connections, but repeatedly encountered obstacles, but I let him in."

It turned out that Nie Peixiao had guessed everything.Chuxiu thought of Helian Qi's entrustment, and felt even more difficult to speak.

"He Lianqi just went to the Fangzhou prison yesterday, and you came to see me today, so it must be related to him." Nie Peixiao pointed out bluntly, "You want me to release Mingying?"

Chuxiu didn't answer directly, but instead asked: "Ming Ying was tortured in prison?"

Nie Peixiao laughed again: "Chuxiu, you are too soft-hearted, you still want to let this wicked woman go?"

Chuxiu could only sigh: "I heard that she has gone crazy... Besides, she has also suffered a lot."

"What if I don't let him go?" Nie Peixiao suddenly said this, which surprised Chuxiu.She thought that at this critical juncture, Nie Peixiao must have no time to take care of Ming Ying.

"Why doesn't His Highness let him go?" She couldn't help asking.

"Because of Helen Qi. If he doesn't ask you to intercede, I might let Ming Ying go; the more he intercedes with you, the more I don't want to let him go." He answered frankly.

This reason is too naive...Chuxiu felt helpless: "Who are you angry with? Why bother?"

"You have the right to pretend that I can't let go." Nie Peixiao narrowed her handsome eyes slightly, and a hazy light appeared, "As long as I think of Helian Qi, I feel uncomfortable."

Chuxiu sensed the jealousy in his words, and didn't know what to do, so he could only declare: "This matter is not urgent, and you and the empress dowager are the most important things first."

"Chuxiu, you know how to retreat to advance." Nie Peixiao raised her hands to cover her eyes, only showing the part below the bridge of the nose, as if wearing a mask.There was a hint of a smile on his thin lips, and he said slowly, "You and I haven't seen each other for several months, and you came as soon as he opened his mouth, even Mingying can let go..."

At this point, Chuxiu's heart felt cold, and he opened his mouth to argue a few words.But after thinking about it, the facts are there, so what's the use of refuting?Do you want to tell Nie Peixiao that you are afraid that he will have more troubles?What's more, Nie Peixiao is about to marry another beautiful woman.

Thinking about it this way, Chuxiu didn't explain any more: "If you think so, then so be it."

Admit it?Nie Peixiao let go of the hand that covered his eyes, and looked sideways at Chuxiu: "Actually, you are the most ruthless to me." He began to laugh at himself in a muffled voice: "Yun Ci is amazing, Shen Yu can revive the door, He Lianqi can also keep Mingying, but I am the most incompetent. Fortunately, you are not Princess Cheng, otherwise you will be implicated by me..."

Seeing Nie Peixiao's appearance, Chuxiu felt very familiar.Once upon a time, Shen Yu also lost his loved ones, drunk, dreaming of death and depressed.And how did she persuade him at that time?I can't remember the details for a long time, only the scene of Shen Yu's hairdo for her is as clear as yesterday, vivid in my memory.

It's a pity that she won't use the same method a second time.Although the words were weak, words were better than nothing: "Your Highness should cheer up, and the empress dowager doesn't want to see you torture yourself."

Hearing this, a look of disappointment flashed across Nie Peixiao's eyes.Xu Shi didn't wait for the response he wanted, so he didn't say any more, and said perfunctorily: "Well, let's go."

Chuxiu knew what he wanted to hear, but she couldn't say it, she just pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Let's go." Nie Peixiao slowly sat up from the ground, reached out to pick up the unfinished jug, "After I finish drinking this jug, it's time to arrange my trip to Beijing."

When Chuxiu saw that he was awake, he stopped trying to persuade him, and finally told him: "Your Highness, take care, and don't confront the Holy Majesty head-on."

Nie Peixiao raised her head and took a big gulp of wine, but she didn't answer the question: "I'll send an order to let Ming Ying out, and you can tell He Lianqi to pick her up."

He stubbornly believed that she came here for Mingying, and would rather believe that she misses Helen Qi than that she really cares about him.Chuxiu smiled wryly, but couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, maybe only when the qin and flute played together, they were connected with each other!
"Take care, Your Highness." Chu Xiukuan stood up from the ground and looked down at Nie Peixiao.It's a pity that the other party didn't look at her anymore, but just gulped down the wine, wanting to get drunk and relieve his worries.

Leaving Xiu didn't say any more, and went straight out of Prince Cheng's mansion, and it was almost evening at this time.On the way back to Yunfu, the sun was setting, she said to Zhuying: "Send someone to Chuhua Xiaozhu, and tell Helian Qi that the matter is settled."
