Master, stay safe

Chapter 5
I originally thought that if Zhou Yunyi really liked me, I would justly refuse.But thinking about it, when Zhou Yunyi looked at me tenderly, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on him, his eyes were like a pool of spring water in the south of the Yangtze River, I was immediately speechless.

Later when I went back to the palace, when I thought of this incident, I wished I could slap me to death at that time.

Rong Wu, you are really stupid, why didn't you know how to say, Zhou Yunyi, do you want me or die?
I sighed.

Seeing this, Dong Tao asked: "Why is the princess unhappy? Mr. Zhou is a dragon and phoenix among men, and he was born unparalleled in handsomeness. Isn't it a good thing that Mr. Zhou is pleased with the princess? The previous consorts were married by His Majesty." Isn't the princess always happy when the time comes?"

I said, "This is different."

Dong Tao was puzzled and said: "What's the difference? Aren't they all servants of His Majesty? And compared to the first five sons-in-law, Mr. Zhou is even better. There are countless people in the capital who are looking forward to marrying Mr. Zhou. The princess is the heavenly family." The golden branches and jade leaves, Mr. Zhou is not a thing in the pond, he is a perfect match for the princess."

I said, "That's not the problem."

"Then... what's the problem?"

I touched my chest, and my heart was beating in my chest.

I said: "I have killed five sons-in-law, and I don't want to beat the sixth."

What Kefu said is one of the reasons why I don't want to marry Zhou Yunyi.

But I also know that this is not the most important reason.

In fact, I don't understand either. If Zhou Yunyi really became my consort in terms of the qualifications of my consorts, he must be the best one.I also have a good impression of the previous five sons-in-law, and the emperor's brother personally proposed marriage. According to the emperor's opinion, if they don't die suddenly, I don't care if I live with them for the rest of my life.

I also have a good impression of Zhou Yunyi, but today I heard his affectionate confession with my own ears, but I didn't feel any joy at all.

Dong Tao said: "But didn't the princess recognize Mr. Jun as her master? Didn't Master Zhengdao say that Mr. Jun could decipher the princess' theory of Kefu?"

I sighed, and said, "You don't need to say any more, go and call Qiutao over here. I don't know how she is doing with what the Japanese Palace told me a while ago."

Dongtao left in response.

After a while, Qiutao came over.

I asked, "Did you find out?"

Qiu Tao said: "If you want to return to the princess, the servants are still investigating, and now they have a clue, and they can give the princess an explanation in three days at most."

I nodded, and said again: "Don't startle the snake, come back and report to me immediately after finding it, the rest of me will have my own plans."

All in all, I have been a teacher for half a year.

Learning Gu art with Jun Qingyan, from the initial talent to the current stagnation.After learning for half a year, except for the green worm Gu which can be used handy, the other Gu are very difficult to even take a step. Fortunately, Jun Qingyan did not dislike me, and still taught me patiently.

"How is the Lost Tracking Gu?" Jun Qingyan asked.

I said in frustration: "Failed."

Jun Qingyan said, "Failed again?"

I nod.Jun Qingyan said: "It's strange, how could it fail again?" I sighed: "I don't know either."

"Let me teach you again, raising Gu requires patience as well as talent." Jun Qingyan took out his vessel and opened the lid.

I poked my head and took a look, the Gu worms in the container were very beautifully raised, as if they had already taken shape.

He asked: "Today you do it again in front of the teacher. You are talented and have the guts to raise Gu. There is no reason to fail."

I said "OK".

Then Jun Qingyan and I left Zhuxiu Pavilion together.

I caught the worms again, and put them into the container one by one according to Jun Qingyan's instructions. When I was about to put the last worm, my hand shook slightly, and the worm left my palm with flapping wings.

I lifted the hem of my skirt and hurried to chase after it.

Jun Qingyan grabbed my utensil and followed me.

I ran for a while, and suddenly, a little girl who was born in pink and jade appeared in front of the green bamboo not far away.Her eyes were red and swollen, and big teardrops were rolling down one by one.

The bug I was chasing also landed on her shoulder.

The little girl was too frightened to move, her nose twitched and her face was pale.

I said, "Don't be afraid, don't move."

I stepped forward lightly, stretched out my hand, and caught the fleeing flying insect.Just when Jun Qingyan came, I put the last flying insect into the container.After closing the lid, the little girl suddenly burst into tears.

I shivered.

As long as I hear a child crying on weekdays, I feel uncomfortable all over.I quickly said, "Don't cry, don't cry, where's your mother?"

The three concubines in the palace had nothing to do, and the clothes on the little girl's body were not bad.Concubine Qin's natal family came to the palace to visit relatives today, and I think this little girl is from Concubine Qin's natal family.

I looked around, and there was no maid.

I asked again: "Where's your maid?"

The little girl didn't answer, she kept crying with her shoulders shaking, her tears seemed endless.

Now if Qiutao and Dongtao were here, they could still take the little girl to Concubine Qin's palace.But when I was learning Gu art with Jun Qingyan, in order to concentrate, every time I turned away Qiutao Dongtao and other court ladies.

And now my Lost Tracking Gu is still short of the last step before it can be completed.

The little girl continued to cry loudly.

I was at a loss and said, "Don't cry, why did you break into this place?"

At this moment, Jun Qingyan suddenly handed the vessel to me.He knelt down, looked at the little girl at the same level, stroked her head gently with his palm, and said softly, "Want to eat sugar figurines? I have delicious sugar figurines here."

The little girl's crying became quieter, but she was still sobbing.

She opened her eyes wide: "Sugar Man?"

Jun Qingyan said: "Well, sweet sugar man, a sugar man in the shape of a bunny, with red eyes, just like your eyes now."

The crying gradually disappeared, and the little girl wiped away her tears with her hands, her voice soft and waxy.

"really?"

Jun Qingyan picked up the little girl with a very skillful posture, and the little girl sat firmly in Jun Qingyan's arms.He said to me: "It's still the last step, you should finish it first."

After all, Jun Qingyan carried the little girl through the bamboo forest and entered the Zhuxiu Pavilion.

I was very surprised, and I was extremely shocked. I never thought that Jun Qingyan would be able to coax a little girl.I quickly buried the utensils and floated to Zhuxiu Pavilion with oil on the soles of my feet.

As soon as he entered, he saw the little girl sitting on a low stool with her hands resting on her chest, looking at Jun Qingyan with watery eyes without blinking.

He was standing in front of a tall table that was half a person tall, and there were a lot of utensils on the tall table. I saw these utensils in the streets outside the palace, and they were used in the stalls of sugar kneaders.I saw Jun Qingyan's ten fingers flying, and the shape of half a rabbit appeared.

I swallowed.

Presumably my expression at this moment is almost the same as that of the little girl.

After a while, a small and delicate rabbit was handed to the little girl.The little girl frowned, showing a big smile, and the wailing just now had disappeared without a trace.

I swallowed again.

"Master... Master can even do this?"

Jun Qingyan looked at me and asked, "You want it too?"

I blinked and said, "Okay, Master pinch someone for me? Pinch a Wu?"

"can."

I said: "Master...you are really versatile..."

Jun Qingyan said: "I used to raise a little girl as a teacher. She loves to eat sweets. Every time she cries, only a sugar man can coax her to stop. She is very greedy, so she loves to eat sweets, and she will cry if she is not given to eat." , Because of eating sugar, several teeth were broken. Later, when I changed my teeth, I babbled and cried, saying that I would never dare to eat sugar again.”

Speaking of this, I saw a smile in Jun Qingyan's eyes.

No wonder Jun Qingyan is good at coaxing little girls, it turns out he raised them.My heart tightened, and I asked tentatively, "Is it Master's daughter?"

Jun Qingyan said: "No."

I was startled: "Is it the adopted daughter adopted by Master?"

"Not at all."

I was relieved.

Just now Jun Qingyan mentioned the little girl he raised, and he, who was normally silent, also became more talkative.It seems that Master likes children very much.At this time, a palace maid hurried over.

Seeing the little girl next to me, she trembled like chaff.

"It was the servant's negligence that made Miss Qin San disturb the princess."

I waved my hand and said, "Get up, I don't blame you, take her back. I just broke into the bamboo forest and cried a lot, maybe I was frightened. Go back and find a doctor to prescribe some tranquilizing medicine."

Before the little girl left, she looked at Jun Qingyan reluctantly.

Jun Qingyan nodded to her.

After Gong'e also left, Jun Qingyan said: "Okay."

He handed me a sugar figure that looked exactly like me.

He said: "It's been a long time since I pinched, it's a bit raw."

I said happily: "No, Master squeezed it very well." I licked it, it was sweet, and the sweet taste spread all over my limbs, and finally lingered in my heart.I looked at Jun Qingyan, then at the sugar figurine in my hand.

Suddenly figured it out.

I don't want Zhou Yunyi to be my son-in-law, any reason is secondary.

The most important thing is that I now have... a sweetheart - my master, Jun Qingyan.

This is the first time I've had love in nearly 21 years.

At night, it rained in the palace.

The wind mixed with rain at night blows in through the half-opened window, making it slightly cold.I sat by the window, supported my chest with both hands, and looked up at the hibiscus tree swaying in the wind.Xu Shi ate the candy man made by Jun Qingyan for me, no matter what I look at tonight, I think it is extremely beautiful, even the vegetarian dishes that I don't like on weekdays taste very good.

Dong Tao said: "Princess, it's cold at night, sitting by the window is easy to catch the cold."

I smiled and said: "It's okay, anyway, I have 20 days of a month with wind and cold."

As long as I can remember, catching wind and cold has been a common occurrence, and minor illnesses have continued. I'm surprised that I don't get sick someday.But fortunately, they are all minor illnesses, and they will be cured even if they don't take medicine for a few days.

Dong Tao said again: "Princess seems to be very happy today?"

I said, "Yes, Master made me a sugar figurine today."

Dong Tao said again: "This servant has never seen the princess so happy."

That is, the sugar figurine was pinched for me by Master, and it is unique in this world.Although Miss Qin San also has a sugar figurine, it's just a little girl, I don't mind.

"Princess……"

I turned my head and glanced at Dongtao, seeing her hesitant to speak, I said, "Speak up if you have something to say, after following Ben Gong for so many years, why can't you get rid of this hesitation?"

Dong Tao blinked and asked, "Does the princess like Mr. Jun?"

My heart tightened, and I pretended to be calm and calm, and said: "Jun Qingyan is my master, how could I like him?" I am happy with Jun Qingyan, and I can't tell anyone, Dongtao and Qiu Neither can peaches.

If the two of them knew about it, Brother Huang must know about it soon.

Brother Huang has always doted on me, as long as I like it, no matter what it is, an imperial decree will be thrown down directly.Jun Qingyan is arrogant and has a sweetheart. When an imperial decree comes down, I know that Jun Qingyan will resist the decree without guessing.

As long as Jun Qingyan doesn't like me for a day, I won't tell anyone about my little thoughts.

The next day I got up very early, before the rooster crowed, I got up from the bed and called Qiutao and Dongtao to come in and dress me up.As the saying goes, women are the ones who please themselves, and after confirming my careful thinking towards Jun Qingyan, I can't wait to present my best side in front of him.

When I was about to reach Zhuxiu Pavilion, I took out a small mirror with rhombus flowers from my sleeve pocket, took a selfie in the mirror for a while, and then got out of the sedan chair.I screened Qiutao and Dongtao away, and told the servants at the door to keep silent, and entered Zhuxiu Pavilion alone.

Jun Qingyan got up very early.

When I went in, he was taking out the jade flute from the cage.

I smiled and called out "Master".

Jun Qingyan seemed a little surprised when he saw me.But yes, this is the first time I have come to Zhuxiu Pavilion so early, no wonder he was surprised.I coughed lightly, my ears turned red, and said, "I got up early today, and I happened to have a problem and wanted to ask the teacher, so I came here."

I looked at the jade flute in his hand, and said again: "Master is going to play the flute, right? You play first, my question is not urgent."

He said: "Okay."

He stood by the window and began to play the flute.It's the same song as before.From the first time I heard Jun Qingyan play the flute to now, the tune he plays has never changed.But having said that, Master is a very disciplined person.

He has to play the flute every two days, which is unshakable.

After the song was over, the white cat I gave to Master walked out from under the chair, walked to Jun Qingyan's feet, and meowed lazily.Jun Qingyan picked it up and sat down in front of me.

"what is the problem?"

I looked at the white cat, then at Jun Qingyan, coughed and said, "I've been apprenticed to my master for so long, Ah Wu still doesn't know how old my master is."

Jun Qingyan said: "My teacher is seven years older than you."

Seven years old, that is, 27, um, two years younger than Brother Huang.It was exactly the same age as I guessed.I smiled and said: "Master is only 27, really young and promising."

Suddenly, there was a stomach rumbling.

I swallowed, and then I remembered that I came to Zhuxiu Pavilion without breakfast this morning.I said: "Master is just getting up, he didn't use breakfast, why not use it with Ah Wu."

Jun Qingyan said: "I'm not hungry as a teacher."

Having been with Master for so long, I also know that Jun Qingyan is a strange person when it comes to food.I smiled and said, "Master, do you want pineapple?"

"...Alright."

When I was about to call Dongtao to pass on the meal, I suddenly remembered something.I asked curiously: "Master, besides being able to make sugar people, what else can you do?"

Jun Qingyan thought for a while, and said, "I know how to cook as a teacher."

When I heard it, I said enthusiastically, "Master knows how to cook? What kind of dishes does Master know?"

He said: "I will. When I was raising a little girl, she not only loved sweets, but she was also very greedy. She liked to eat everything, but she didn't like eating in restaurants outside, so I had to cook. As time went by, Then I know how to cook any dish.”

My eyes lit up, and I said, "Master, show me a hand!"

Jun Qingyan seemed a little hesitant.

I blinked: "Okay, okay? Just show off."

"……it is good."

There is a small kitchen next to Zhuxiu Pavilion. I called Gong'e to take the ingredients that Master asked for, and then I stood in the kitchen with the white cat in my arms, watching Jun Qingyan skillfully lighting the fire and choosing vegetables.

The more I looked at it, the more I felt that the man I fell in love with was the best in the world.

Not only is he good-looking, but he also knows everything. Knowing about astronomy and geography seems to be an easy thing for him.It's a pity that such a good man has a girl on his heart.

But it doesn't matter, he hasn't found any clues after searching for so long, maybe he won't be able to find it in his whole life.

Besides, he is so attached to another girl, it can be seen that he is a deeply affectionate person, which is what I admire about him.

"Mingyu?"

I came back to my senses: "What's wrong?"

Jun Qingyan said: "Why do you keep staring at Teacher?"

I was choked, the oily smoke came, I sneezed, and then I sneezed several times.Jun Qingyan said: "Is it uncomfortable?" I rubbed my nose and said, "It seems to be a bit cold..."

Jun Qingyan said: "Breakfast is almost ready, you go back to the Nuan Pavilion and wait, it's a bit cold here."

I was startled.

After a while, Jun Qingyan asked again: "What's wrong?"

I rubbed my forehead acupoint, shook my head, and said, "It's nothing." It's just that I fell ill again. I always felt like I met everyone in the previous life when I saw someone in the past. When I heard Jun Qingyan's words just now, I always felt sick. Someone once said that to me.

I said again: "I'll go back to Nuan Pavilion and wait for Master."

Although Jun Qingyan's craftsmanship is not excellent, it is not bad.He cooked lotus leaf porridge and two side dishes, Dongtao also brought pineapple.So Jun Qingyan and I sat at the table, he ate pineapple, and I ate the breakfast he made.

There is not much meat in the side dish, but it is the best breakfast I have eaten in nearly 21 years.

I ate it with relish, and ate it all in a short while.

My heart is more satisfied than ever before.

Suddenly my nose was itchy and I sneezed.

Jun Qingyan said: "You are in poor health, and you seldom eat vegetarian food, so you are easy to catch cold."

I said: "The imperial doctor also said this. I have tried many methods since I was young, but none of them worked. When I was in Fuhua Temple, Master Zhengdao didn't say that I was prone to illness because of the heavy yin energy in my body. ?”

I was a little nervous.

"Master has been with Ah Wu, and Ah Wu's body will be fine."

Jun Qingyan said: "Some of the righteous words may not be credible."

I smiled and said, "How did Master know Master Zhengdao? From Master Zhengdao's tone, it seems that he is very familiar with Master."

Jun Qingyan said: "We've known each other for a long time." As if thinking of something, Jun Qingyan smiled, and he said: "Zhengdao is an old naughty boy in private. Although he is the abbot of Fuhua Temple, he is sometimes greedy. Then they will secretly eat meat."

My eyes widen.

It is really hard to imagine that the righteous master who is somewhat similar to the Buddha would do such a thing.

Jun Qingyan said again: "Take good care of your body and eat more vegetarian food."

I was startled again.

I smiled and said: "I don't know what's wrong today, I always feel that what Master said seems familiar, as if I have heard it in my previous life."

Jun Qingyan's eyes suddenly darkened.

I explained: "But I don't have a good memory, and I often confuse dreams with reality."

He looked at me and said, "You have been like this since you were a child?"

I nodded and said, "It's been like this ever since I can remember. When I was young, my father and mother were often troubled by this."

"Give me your hand as a teacher." His tone suddenly became urgent.

I froze for a moment, but held out my hand.Jun Qingyan held it, his hands were icy cold, making my cheeks blush.After he let go of my hand, there was a look of disappointment on his face.

He murmured, "No..."

"Master?"

He recovered, shook his head, and said, "Nothing."

I was quite surprised, at this moment, Qiutao came over in a hurry and whispered in my ear: "Princess, the servant has found out."

I said, "Where is it?"

Qiu Tao glanced at Jun Qingyan, and I said, "It's okay, let's talk."

Qiu Tao said: "Wei Qing is the coachman in Mr. Zhou's residence."

Zhou...Zhou Yunyi!

It was actually the coachman in Zhou Yunyi's mansion!In other words, this matter has something to do with Zhou Yunyi.

Qiu Tao asked: "Princess, do you need to summon Wei Qing?"

I said: "Not for now, I have to think about it carefully."

I paused, and said again: "You go back first."

Qiutao responded.

I'm a little confused now, Zhou Yunyi confessed his love to me before, and within a few days, the coachman in his mansion actually met my fifth son-in-law.Judging from the tone of the man in Xuanyi, Wei Qing seemed to have a great relationship with the death of the fifth son-in-law.

"Who is Wei Qing?"

When I was distressed, Jun Qingyan asked suddenly.

I said: "The person mentioned by the thief I met last time on the outskirts of the capital, he said that the son-in-law had met Wei Qing before he married me, and now Wei Qing is from Zhou Yunyi's mansion..."

I frowned, and said again: "It seems that we should go to the palace to see Wei Qing, and ask him exactly what he said to the son-in-law."

If the death of the fifth son-in-law is really related to the Zhou family, I will definitely not let the fifth son-in-law die of injustice!Thinking of the icy eyes of the fifth son-in-law before jumping into the lake, my heart tightened again and again.

I stood up and said: "Master, I won't learn Gu art today, come back another day."

"Ah."

I walked a few steps, stopped again, and turned to look at Jun Qingyan.He looked thoughtful.

I pursed my lips, and originally wanted to ask Jun Qingyan if he wanted to leave the palace together, but after thinking about it, I decided not to.Being too courteous always shows that I have bad intentions. All the scriptures I have read say that a girl should be reserved, even if she really has affection for a man first, the seduction method must be gradual.

"Master... want to go together?" My tone was rather awkward.

At this moment, there is a villain in my heart who is beating his chest and stamping his feet. What about being reserved?What about reserved?

"No."

It was as if a basin of cold water was poured from my head, drenching the little person in my heart miserably.Look, look, this is what happens when you are not reserved.Rong Wu, Rong Wu, you are Da'an's golden branch and jade leaf, how can you be so shameless!
The next day when I left the palace, the sun was very good, but unfortunately I was in a bad mood.

When I first got to know love, it was really as the script said, there was a small drum in my heart, and I often jumped thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump.At first, because Jun Qingyan took the initiative to ask about Wei Qing, he felt joyful in his heart. He always felt that Jun Qingyan cared about me now, and with Jun Qingyan's temperament, he never asked much about things that had nothing to do with him before.

But later, because of Jun Qingyan's understatement, I was listless all night. When I had breakfast this morning, the meat soup could only soothe half of my sorrow.

Qiutao set up the steps.

I lifted the hem of my skirt and stepped on the steps. Just as I was about to get into the carriage, a pale blue figure that I was all too familiar with appeared in front of us.Jun Qingyan coughed lightly, and said, "I will go with you as a teacher."

I was pleasantly surprised: "Didn't you just say no to it yesterday?"

Jun Qingyan said: "Master, I suddenly remembered something."

"what's up?"

Jun Qingyan was silent for a while, coughed again, and said, "As a teacher, I have an appointment with the righteous way, and he... cough... made an appointment to play chess as a teacher."

Qiu Tao said: "But didn't Master Zhengdao went to Nanzhou to practice things? He just left yesterday, and he came back so early."

I said: "Nanzhou is far away from the capital, how could I come back today." I blinked and asked, "Could it be that Master is going to Nanzhou?"

Jun Qingyan coughed again, with a slight twist in his voice.

"Are you still out of the palace?"

I said, "Go out."

in the carriage.

I glanced at Jun Qingyan from time to time, thinking about his sentence about meeting and playing chess with Master Zhengdao.Perhaps my eyes were too frequent, Jun Qingyan couldn't bear it anymore, and asked, "Is there something on your face?"

I blushed slightly, shook my head, and said, "No, no."

I thought about it in my mind for a while, and then said: "Master is really going to Nanzhou? The capital is half a month away from Nanzhou."

Jun Qingyan said: "I won't go."

I asked, "But didn't Master make an appointment to play chess with Master Zhengdao?"

"Let's talk about it when he comes back."

After I heard it, I felt happy in my heart.Although Jun Qingyan didn't come out specially to accompany me, I am extremely happy to have him by my side at this time.I smiled and said: "I heard that Grandmaster Zhengdao is very good at chess. Compared with Grandmaster Zhengdao, who is better at chess?"

Jun Qingyan's tone was quite proud: "Zhengdao has never won as a teacher. The first time he played against me 40 years ago, he lost everything."

I froze for a while.

"40 years ago?" Isn't Master only 27?
Jun Qingyan changed his words: "I was wrong, it was 20 years ago."

I widened my eyes, and said, "Master defeated Master Zhengdao when he was seven years old."

He coughed: "Yeah."

"Master is really a genius." I wanted to say something, but Jun Qingyan said calmly, "What are you going to do after you find Wei Qing?"

I thought for a while and said, "Ask him what he said to the fifth son-in-law that day."

Jun Qingyan said: "Will he tell you the truth?"

I smiled, raised my jaw slightly, and said, "I have my own way."

The carriage stopped under a big tree near Zhou Mansion.

Now that it is getting into early winter, although the sun is good, it is still very cold.Jun Qingyan and I were waiting in the carriage, the window was opened a slit enough to see the movement outside, Qiutao and Dongtao were waiting dozens of steps away, there were still a few of my shadows in the crowd guard.

After that time of not returning home at night, today when I went to ask the emperor brother to ask for an order to leave the palace, when the emperor knew that Jun Qingyan would not leave the palace with me, he repeatedly told him to bring more secret guards.Later, Jun Qingyan changed his mind, and I asked Dongtao to ask Concubine Qin for a palace order.Concubine Qin is in charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and all people in the palace, except me, have to obtain Concubine Qin's approval to enter and leave the palace.

However, Concubine Qin has always been kind and amiable, and treated me very well, so naturally she would not make things difficult for my master to leave the palace.

I hugged the hearth and yawned.

Last night I was full of thoughts about why Jun Qingyan refused to come out with me, and about Wei Qing and Zhou Yunyi, so I didn't sleep much.

Jun Qingyan glanced at me.

My heart skipped a beat.When he came out today, he knew that Jun Qingyan was not coming, so he didn't spend much time on dressing up, thinking that he was going to leave the palace anyway, the simpler the better.

Taking advantage of Jun Qingyan's inattention, I quietly took out the small Linghua mirror from my sleeve pocket, and took a picture of it sideways.

My heart skipped a beat again.

The fundus of the eyes is black and blue, and the complexion is not good.

My hand trembled suddenly.

Jun Qingyan glanced at me again, I quickly turned my head, pointed the back of my head at him, and said, "Qiu Tao, isn't Wei Qing coming out of Zhou Mansion in half an hour? It's been half an hour now, why haven't we seen anyone? "

"It's not half an hour yet, don't worry."

When Jun Qingyan said this, I moved my hand to the secret compartment of the carriage calmly, fiddled with it a little, and opened the secret compartment.If I remember correctly, there is a round fan inside, which is just used to cover the face.

A glance out of the corner of his eye.

Alas, God is going to kill me.

The memory of my brain is so poor that it can be compared with that of a fish.There was no round fan in it at all, but a packet of pastries instead.Yes, I remembered.There was originally a round fan inside, and it was a strange round fan. I don’t know which year it was a gift from a courtier on my birthday. There is a mystery hidden in the round fan, it is a hidden weapon.But some time ago when I was in the carriage, I happened to be hungry, so I asked Qiutao to take off the round fan, and prepared food in every corner of the carriage, including the hidden compartment.

I regret it so much.

I took out the pastry, took a piece and put it in my mouth, filling my cheeks.

At this time, only meat can make up for the sadness and regret in my heart...

At this moment, the corner door of the Zhou Mansion slowly opened.As Qiutao said, Wei Qing came out in a carriage.Qiu Tao and Dong Tao, who were dozens of steps away, looked at each other and followed.

I told the coachman, "Follow me."

There was no one sitting in the carriage, which just saved my energy.When Wei Qing drove into a remote alley, I asked the coachman to follow.Blocked Wei Qing's way out.

But at this moment, I heard the carriage stop suddenly, I think Qiutao and Dongtao forced Wei Qing to stop the carriage as I said.

Wei Qing's voice sounded.

"Who are you? Why..."

The sound of the sword being unsheathed sounded.

Although I couldn't see it, I knew it must be Qiutao who put the sword directly on Wei Qing's neck.Among my two close servants, Qiutao has always been the one with the highest martial arts skills, so whenever someone pretends to be a princess, Qiutao is left to protect me.

Jun Qingyan looked at me thoughtfully and said, "What do you want to do?"

I smiled and said: "Master will know later."

I hold the hand stove in my arms tightly, and prick up my ears to listen to the movement outside.Dongtao said angrily: "You must be Wei Qing." Then Qiutao shouted angrily again: "Say it quickly, or be careful of the head on your neck."

I nodded with satisfaction.

Qiutao and Dongtao really look like villains when they play villains.

Wei Qing's voice was trembling, as if he was frightened.He said: "Yes... yes, the villain is Wei Qing."

Dong Tao sneered: "It seems that I didn't catch the wrong person. I'm here to send you to the west. It's only natural to kill someone to pay for your life. If you kill my master, you don't want to keep your dog's life. But don't worry, my girl I have always been kind, and I will not let you go on the road alone, and you will see your family on Huangquan Road later, and the whole family will be together in Huangquan, which is considered my kindness to you."

Wei Qing said: "The villain didn't kill anyone! Who is the girl's master?"

Dong Tao sneered again, "My lady's master is named Su."

Qiu Tao said: "Look at his face turning pale, he really killed our number one scholar!"

Wei Qing said: "No, no, I didn't kill him."

Dong Tao said: "On the day the champion died, you sneaked into him and said, didn't you! If you dare to tell half a lie, I will let your head fall."

"me……"

"Say!" Qiutao shouted.

"Yes." Wei Qing said.

"Sure enough, you killed it. You secretly put five stone powder in the food of our Zhuangyuan Lord, right? That's why the Zhuangyuan Lord did such an abnormal thing on the day of his wedding with Princess Mingyu. It really was you ! It really is you!"

In the last four words, I specifically confessed to Qiutao and Dongtao that I had to repeat them over and over again.

When people panic, they are especially prone to mistakes.

Sure enough, Wei Qing said: "No, it's not me."

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you!"

"It's my master."

Although I got the desired result, I was still startled when I heard it with my own ears.

I have found out that Wei Qing is just a mere commoner, he is not capable enough to kill the fifth son-in-law, there must be someone behind him, and the power must not be small.Since he is the coachman of the Zhou family, I have to suspect Zhou Yunyi first.

It's just that I've checked secretly for a long time, and Zhou Yunyi and the fifth son-in-law have nothing against each other. The fifth son-in-law's official rank is lower than Zhou Yunyi's, and he can't stand in the way of Zhou Yunyi in the court. Zhou Yunyi has no motive to kill the fifth son-in-law at all.

So now I am very confused and puzzled.

I coughed heavily, the coachman lifted the curtain, and I got out of the carriage.Dong Tao knelt down and saluted: "Princess Mingyu is blessed."

Wei Qing's expression changed instantly.

I glanced at him, holding the majesty of a princess, and said calmly: "Why did your master kill my son-in-law? If you tell everything, this palace will still spare your life. If you don't say anything, maybe there is a half-word If you tell lies, I will let your family die without peace."

Qiutao's sword pushed forward lightly, and blood was seen immediately.

She echoed, "What did you do that day?"

She really deserves to be the maid who has been with me for many years, and she has a special understanding with me.

Wei Qing was so frightened that his hands and feet were shaking, and his lips were also trembling.

"Villain... The villain recruited. On that day, the lord asked the villain to meet Su Zhuangyuan in the name of the princess. He also brought Su Zhuangyuan's favorite food on weekdays, and said... that the princess ordered someone to bring it. .”

After the marriage decree with the fifth son-in-law came down, in order to show my heart, I did ask someone to bring him food in private, I didn't expect Zhou Yunyi to even know this.It has to be said that this method is quite clever, presumably Zhou Yunyi has been planning in secret for a long time, otherwise he would not be so familiar with the fifth son-in-law.I said, "Is there five stone powder in it?"

"Yes." Wei Qing replied.

Five stone powder is forbidden in Da'an. Last time when I heard that the fifth son-in-law died of taking too much five stone powder, I was extremely shocked.

I asked, "Why did Zhou Yunyi want to kill the son-in-law?"

Wei Qing cried and said: "The villain is just obeying orders, begging the princess to spare the villain's life."

I thought about it and couldn't figure out why Zhou Yunyi wanted to kill the fifth son-in-law, so I said again: "What else do you know?"

Wei Qing's complexion changed.

I said: "I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes."

Wei Qing hesitated for a moment, then said: "There is also...the third son-in-law of the princess..."

My heart tightened, and I said, "Zhou Yunyi also made a move?"

Wei Qing said: "My lord put medicine in the son-in-law's steamed bun, and then bought the autopsy..."

My face immediately changed.

"why?"

Wei Qing still said: "The villain just obeys orders."

I'm baffled.

But the matter has come to this point, I have to give justice to my two sons-in-law.I said to Qiu Tao: "Bring him back to the palace, I will personally report to Brother Ming. This matter can't just be left alone."

I got into the carriage.

At this moment, my heart is quite heavy. I never thought that after searching for so long, Zhou Yunyi was the real culprit in the end.Obviously he just confessed his love to me some time ago, and it seems that he still has some sincerity.

I really don't understand why he wanted to kill my two consorts?

Wei Qing is from his house, so it is absolutely impossible for him to tell lies.And thinking about it carefully, that day when I met the man in Xuanyi outside Mingyu Villa, the man in Xuanyi was about to tell me the truth when Zhou Yunyi appeared rashly.

Thinking about it now, it is no longer a coincidence that the two words can be mentioned in one stroke.

Besides, the person in Xuanyi died beyond recognition in a few days, and the only person who has seen the person in Xuanyi besides me is Zhou Yunyi.

Jun Qingyan looked at me.

I sighed softly and said, "I made Master laugh."

He said: "Have you ever thought that these are just Wei Qing's one-sided claims? You have witnesses, but you have no physical evidence. Although the current clues point to Zhou Yunyi, you can't find Zhou Yunyi's motive for killing people."

I said, "It's been so long, how could there be physical evidence left?"

Jun Qingyan said: "That's not necessarily the case, just like the five-stone powder that Wei Qing said just now, the five-stone powder is not an ordinary thing, and it is a forbidden thing in Da'an."

I suddenly said: "Master, you mean to find the person who sold Wushi powder to Zhou Yunyi half a year ago?"

Jun Qingyan nodded.

I said: "Yes! There are also three sons-in-law. You can find the author of the autopsy at that time. Now there is only Wei Qing's testimony, but there is no physical evidence. It is easy for Zhou Yunyi to overthrow it."

Even if I tell the emperor, there is no real evidence, the emperor will not be able to bring Zhou Yunyi to justice, and... I am still worried about one thing.

Brother Huang intends to match Zhou Yunyi and me, and he has great trust in Zhou Yunyi, only Wei Qing's one-sided words, Brother Huang may not believe me.

After returning to the palace, I changed my clothes and went to the imperial study.

The emperor's brother is diligent in government and loves the people. Apart from the meeting hall and the bedroom, he only stays in the imperial study.Every time I go to the imperial study room, I can see Brother Huang in all likelihood.There is only Brother Huang in the imperial study room, seeing me, Brother Huang has a smile in his eyes.

He said, "Are you back?"

I nodded.

Brother Huang said again: "You, you always want to go out of the palace, and your heart is wild. Where did you go today?"

I said: "Just went around outside the palace." I pondered for a while in my heart, and then said tentatively: "Brother Huang, do you remember Master Zhengdao once said that Ah Wu's face is a very blessed person."

Brother Huang put down the memorial and said, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

I said: "Ah Wu thinks what Master Zhengdao said is reasonable."

Brother Huang said with a smile: "Our Ah Wu is the golden branch and jade leaf of Da'an, so he is naturally a blessed person. What Zhengdao said is just what ordinary people would say."

I said: "Before, Ah Wu thought that she was ordered by Kefu, so she went to Fuhua Temple to question Master Zhengdao. But today, Ah Wu feels that the death of the five consorts may not all be related to Ah Wu."

Brother Huang's face became slightly dignified.

He said, "What did you hear today?"

I kept this matter from Brother Huang for a long time. I thought I would report it to Brother Huang only when all the evidence was available, but now seeing Brother Huang's concerned eyes, I couldn't help it.I told Brother Huang one by one what Wei Qing said, as well as my speculation.

After listening to the emperor's brother, he was silent for a long time.

After a while, he said: "Zhou Qing has no motive for doing this."

I said, "But why did Wei Qing say that?"

Brother Huang patted my hand and said: "Ah Wu, don't worry, I will find out everything and give you justice." I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Brother Huang still believed me and didn't think I was lying.

With Brother Huang intervening, this matter is much easier.

Half a month later, the person who came to see me was Zhou Yunyi.

When I saw him I immediately became wary.

Zhou Yunyi said: "Why does the princess question the character of the minister? Since the minister is the minister of the Dali Temple and relieves the people's grievances, how can he do such an outrageous thing, besides, the minister and the princess's two sons-in-law have nothing to do with each other. There is no need for the minister to kill the two of them. The princess also does not know about it. Wei Qing took Wushi powder in private and was often insane. It never occurred to me that the princess really believed in Wei Qing. If the princess still doesn't believe in Weichen, she can go and investigate carefully."

I am dubious about Zhou Yunyi's words.

But he was able to say this in front of me, so it can be seen that Brother Huang has found out the truth.

I immediately went to the imperial study and asked Brother Huang about this matter.Brother Huang sighed after hearing this, and said: "Zhou Qing is a quick-tempered person, but it's hard for him. It's really hard to be wronged. Ah Wu, I wanted to tell you first, but I didn't expect Zhou Qing to take the first step. "

I said, "Is what he said true?"

"Wei Qing has recruited them all."

I asked again: "Has the affairs of the two son-in-laws been recruited?"

The emperor nodded.

I still don't want to believe it, this matter is too strange, Wei Qing is only a coachman, how can he poison the two sons-in-law?
Brother Huang said: "People who take five stone powder can do anything to get five stone powder. This is why five stone powder is forbidden in our court."

I asked, "Where is Wei Qing?"

Brother Huang said: "Wei Qing has been imprisoned and will be executed soon."

I pursed my lips, I must ask clearly about this matter, when I just turned around to go to the prison, Brother Huang suddenly coughed a few times.I turned around again, looked the emperor up and down, and said with concern: "Emperor brother, your complexion doesn't seem very good, but you feel unwell?"

Brother Huang had a smile in his eyes, and he said: "It's just that it's winter and it's cold, and I'm not used to it."

I said: "Brother Huang, if you feel unwell, you must call the imperial physician. Brother Huang is the Son of Heaven of our Da'an. If you sneeze and cough a few times, the capital will be shaken."

"How can I not be clear about my body. It's you," Brother Huang shook his head helplessly, "If you get sick every three days, you will be less sick, and I will worry less."

When Brother Huang said that, I was also relieved.

Brother Huang has paid special attention to his body since he was a child. He never hides his illness from avoiding medical treatment, and immediately summons the imperial physician when he feels unwell. Compared with me, he is much more active.Brother Huang once told me that he can't get sick, he has to live for a long time, so that he can stand up to Da'an's beautiful mountains and rivers.

I laughed.

At this time, the emperor's brother said seriously: "Ah Wu, the matter of Wei Qing has been found out, you have wronged Zhou Qing, although you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, but you can't make my ministers feel cold."

"Ah Wu understands."

I knew that the emperor favored Zhou Yunyi, and I heard from Gao Qiushou that some time ago, the emperor invited Zhou Yunyi into the palace every night to talk by candlelight, this kind of honor was never seen by other courtiers.But Brother Huang, I will do the same even if I don’t say anything, as long as everything is true.

In winter, the prison is dark and damp, with gusty cold winds.

Qiutao carried the palace lantern, and the jailer led the way.Not long after, I saw Wei Qing.

His face was full of stubble, his eye sockets were sunken, the fundus of his eyes was still slightly blue, and his body was as thin as a stick. He was completely different from the Wei Qing I saw half a month ago.He stared at me intently.

"Wei Qing." I shouted.

My sound seemed to irritate him, he jumped up, clutching the door rail tightly with both hands, veins protruding from the back of his hands, and his nails were faintly black.His eyes were about to burst, and he said, "Five Stones! Give it to me! Give it to me!"

I took a step back in horror.

The jailer shouted: "Bold."

The jailer was about to whip his whip, but I stopped him with a wave of my hand.Wei Qing rattled the door, and said, "Five Stones! Five Stones!" I pushed back the jailer, and so did the guards around me.

I took out a Biqing sleeve bag and waved it in front of Wei Qing's eyes.

I said: "There are five stone powder inside, I can give it to you. There is no one here, you can tell me the truth, no matter how high the person who instigated you is, can he still be higher than me? Bengong and Your Majesty I will make the decision for you."

I shook the sleeve bag in my hand again.

I still don't believe that Wei Qing has the ability to do such a thing, even though there are all witnesses and material evidence, I still find it incredible.I just read Wei Qing's confession, the reason why he poisoned the fifth son-in-law was that the fifth son-in-law had seized his five stone powder. Just thought of this method.The reason for murdering the third son-in-law is also very simple. The third son-in-law came from a poor family. Before he met me, he went to the Zhou mansion to ask Zhou Yunyi to do something. Later, he accidentally discovered that Wei Qing, who was a coachman, was smoking Wushi powder. The third son-in-law was in front of Zhou Yunyi. After suing him, Zhou Yunyi almost drove Wei Qing away, because of this, Wei Qing held a grudge against the third son-in-law again.

His eyes seemed to glow green, like a hungry wolf.

"I killed it, I killed it all, give it to me! Give it to me!"

I said, "It has nothing to do with your master?"

"No."

"You did it all by yourself?"

"Yes."

I sighed, that's all I said, and I even moved Brother Huang out, but he didn't change his words.People die for money, birds die for food, this Wei Qing dies for five stones.

I put away my sleeve pockets and said coldly: "I don't have Wushi San, you can go to the underworld and ask Yan Luowang for it." How could I have such a forbidden thing as Wushi San.It was just to bluff him.

After leaving the prison, I suddenly discovered that the first snow in winter was coming.

Qiu Tao said behind me: "Princess can you trust Wei Qing's words?"

I said lightly: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, he himself recruited, and the emperor also said so, can I not believe it?" I stretched out my hand to catch the snowflakes, my fist was slightly clenched, and the coldness melted in my palm, I said : "It's snowing. I remember that there is a gold-plated copper stove with carved Ruyi patterns in the side pavilion. The workmanship is also exquisite. It was rewarded by the emperor some time ago. You carefully pack the autumn peaches and send them to the Zhou mansion. My apologies."

Qiutao responded.

A few days later, when I was mourning my fifth son-in-law by the Qiubo Lake, I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me, it was Zhou Yunyi's voice.

"Yun Yi has seen the princess."

I turned around and saw that Zhou Yunyi was wearing court clothes, and now it happened to be the time to go down to court.I said: "Lord Zhou just came down to court, it's a coincidence that I met Bengong here."

"Unfortunately." He said, "Yun Yi is here to meet the princess."

He smiled slightly, and said, "Yun Yi likes the gilded copper stove that the princess gave Yun Yi very much, and I'm here to thank the princess."

Thinking of how I wronged him before, I laughed dryly.

Zhou Yunyi said again: "Yun Yi understands that the princess only cares too much about the two sons-in-law, and she misunderstood Yun Yi because of the villain's slander. Now that the truth has come out, Yun Yi doesn't care anymore, and the princess doesn't need to take it to heart. If the princess is because of Yun Yi And it's Yun Yi's fault to be brooding."

I pulled my lips and smiled, and said: "I misunderstood you before, I was indeed at fault. But one matter is one matter, what you said to me before..."

Zhou Yunyi asked: "What kind of words?"

I said, "That's what you said by the lake that day..."

Zhou Yunyi said: "Yun Yi talked a lot with the princess that day, I don't know what the princess is referring to?"

This guy must let me speak out!

My face was slightly hot, and I said: "The words you confessed to Bengong!"

Zhou Yunyi suddenly realized, he showed a gentle expression, and said: "Actually, Yun Yi knows what the princess is referring to, and he just wants to hear it from the princess. Yun Yi has been in love with the princess for a long, long time. I saw you in Xinghua Building that day. When she was a princess, Yun Yi fell in love with her at first sight..."

I interrupted him and said, "I don't like you."

He said: "It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't like Yun Yi, it's enough for Yun Yi to like the princess, and Yun Yi believes that sincerity can make gold and stone, there will be a day when the princess will marry Yun Yi willingly. Yun Yi is willing to wait."

I swallowed.

I saw the word persistence in Zhou Yunyi's eyes.

This is the first time a man has confessed so thoroughly in front of me, but unfortunately I am not moved at all.

On the day Wei Qing was questioned and beheaded, I was in Zhuxiu Pavilion with a sad face.

The Misty Gu that I raised a few days ago failed completely. In the vessel just dug out from the soil, the Misty Gu didn't take shape at all, only twelve dead flying insects.

I said in frustration: "Master, why is this? Obviously I have already done what you said."

Jun Qingyan looked strange, and he said: "This is the first time I have encountered such a situation as a teacher."

I sighed and looked at Jun Qingyan.

"Master, what should I do?"

Jun Qingyan said: "Let me think about it as a teacher."

Dongtao came in at this moment and said, "Princess, Wei Qing has already been beheaded."

I nodded and asked, "Did Wei Qing's family collect his body?"

"If you go back to the princess, Wei Qing's wife will come to collect the body."

I said: "You step back."

After Dongtao left, Jun Qingyan asked me: "Are you still doubting?"

I said: "Yes, Master still understands Ah Wu." I moved my body calmly, and after getting closer to Jun Qingyan, I said: "Wei Qing has no power or power, if Wei Qing is really The murderer, the two people outside Xinghua Building and Mingyu Villa didn't need to sneak up on me to remind me. I reckon Wei Qing took the blame for someone else."

As for who...

The first person that comes to my mind is Zhou Yunyi.

Now I want to act in secret, and I must not startle the snake.Brother Huang believed Wei Qing, but I don't believe it, I will definitely find evidence.
