Chapter 1106: Trouble comes from the mouth
Qingming heard it clearly in the corridor. When he saw his master walking out quickly, he immediately took out the fox fur that he had prepared.
When Xiao Zhan climbed onto the horse, the hostility in his eyes had turned into anxiety - Xiaoxue coughed badly before going out this morning, I wonder if she took the medicine on time?
When the sound of horse hooves faded away, Yun Yun was still slumped among the broken porcelain on the ground.
Suddenly, a dark shadow loomed over the head, and the guards in black clothes blocked the way silently: "The master has ordered that the princess move to another courtyard to meditate."
"Who is coming?"
The man in black knelt on one knee and clasped his fists: "I am Qingming. I am ordered by the Prime Minister to escort His Highness back to the posthouse."
Yun Kou clutched her sleeves and stepped back half a step: "I have my own guards accompanying me, so there is no need for you to worry."
Before she could finish her words, Qing Ming suddenly stepped forward and clamped her jaw with his iron-like hands.
A cold pill rolled into his throat. Yun Kou pushed it away in horror, leaving bloody marks on his wrists with her ten fingers, but she was still forced to swallow the foreign object.
"How dare you!" she shouted, but her voice came out in a hoarse voice.
Qing Ming retreated three steps away, lowered his eyes and said, "The Prime Minister said that you really went too far by making up the reputation of the Princess in public today.
Considering this is your first offense, I will temporarily take away your voice. If you continue to speak nonsense, I am afraid you will have to take something more valuable. "
"Hu……"
Yun Kou staggered and held onto the table, the burning pain in her throat cut off her unfinished words.
The bronze mirror reflected her pale face, and she was shocked to realize that Xiao Zhan's cruelty was far beyond her expectations.
When Qingming bowed to invite her, she waved her sleeves angrily.
"Your Highness may wish to think about this carefully."
The black-armored general suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Why is your skilled guard not making any movement at this moment?"
Yun Kou turned her head suddenly, and a broken breath came out of her throat.
"With three thousand guards in the imperial city, how can we allow the rabble to act so recklessly?"
The Qingming sword rang softly: "I will escort you, or the Prime Minister will come in person. Your Highness, please make the decision."
Looking at the light black iron armor appearing in the twilight outside the window, Yunkou closed her eyes and nodded.
The wind blew through the corridor, lifting the silk gauze around her neck, revealing a line of purple finger marks.
In front of the red gate of the posthouse, Qingming turned to the young man in brocade clothes who was watching chess under the eaves and said, "Your Highness, the Prime Minister invites you to play chess in Qingming Pavilion in four days."
Yun Zhen's fingertips landed with a "click" sound: "What if I don't keep the appointment?"
"My Lord only said that you should try the new Junshan Silver Needle." Qingming retreated into the shadows with his sword pressed down: "By the way, when I was escorting Princess Kou just now, I saw that the colored glass lamp in the west wing was very unique."
When the moonlight first rose, Yun Zhen sat alone in the corridor, stroking the jade pendant. The black and white chessboard was like the dark figures looming around the posthouse.
He knew that even if he avoided the tea appointment, Xiao Zhan would always find a way to make him voluntarily enter the chess game - such as the suppressed cough of Yun Kou faintly coming from the west wing at this moment.
As the lights in the courtyard flickered, Xiao Zhan returned, stepping on the ground covered with broken stars.
Jiang Xue was leaning over a carved cradle, gently shaking a painted tambourine with her bare hands. Feng Zhige waved his little arms like lotus roots to reach for it, while Lan Zheng giggled with two dimples.
The warm yellow candlelight reflected on her slightly lowered face, and even her eyelashes were coated with gold.
He stopped under the moon cave gate, and the haze that had lingered in his chest all day was suddenly penetrated by the moonlight.
As long as this smile is still under the lantern on the eaves, all the troubles in the world will become the insignificant chirping of cicadas.
“Yun Che, come quickly!”
When Jiang Xue looked up, the silver butterflies in her hair trembled slightly, and she pressed the warm drum handle into his palm: "Little brother, you were about to grab the drumstick just now."
The glass beads made a crisp sound when they hit the sandalwood handle, and the two children immediately burst into laughter. Even the birds perched outside the window fluttered and flew up.
Xiao Zhan looked at his wife's slightly messy hair and his Adam's apple moved.
At this moment, with her leaning by my side, the scent of baby's milk lingers, and the newly opened white orchids under the corridor are particularly sweet.
As for Yun Zhen’s undercurrents, they were nothing more than the sunset glow that was about to dissipate from the eaves.
In the west courtyard of the city, when Yun Yun staggered and pushed open the study door, Yun Zhen was wiping his sword.
The purple finger marks on the girl's neck were shocking, and her originally clear voice was now broken, like a piece of crushed porcelain.
"Qing Ming sent it back?" The sword's edge reflected his suddenly cold brows.
Thinking of the meaningful invitation from the black-robed guard at noon, the clear water in the copper basin for washing hands suddenly turned blood-red - that girl must have touched a reverse scale that should not have been touched.
Yun Yun nodded desperately, tears falling on the blue bricks.
Yun Zhen suddenly pinched her chin and found three cinnabar-like marks behind her ears, which were the unique marks of the southern Xinjiang mute Gu.
Xiao Zhan never used sinister means, unless... He suddenly let go of his hand, and the jade pendant on the sword tassel made a clear sound.
Yun Yun followed her brother into the study. When he gestured for her to sit down at the desk, she silently spread out the plain paper.
Yun Zhen tapped the sandalwood tabletop with his fingers: "Write down whatever I ask you, and don't say a single false word."
The girl's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and the ink left a few deep marks on the rice paper.
She knew very well that it would be useless to cover up what happened today. She only hoped that the truth could make her brother see the situation clearly and return to her homeland with her.
"How did you touch Xiao Zhan's reverse scale?" Yun Zhen went straight to the point.
The tip of the pen hovered on the paper for a moment, Yun Yun avoided her brother's scorching gaze, and finally started writing quickly.
Yun Zhen leaned against the carved window, looking at the ink words gradually spreading on the rice paper, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
He vaguely remembered being drunk last night, but he didn't realize that when he was drunk and unconscious, he mistakenly called his sister Jiang Xue's maiden name "Xiaoxue".
What frightened him even more was that this silly girl actually dared to test Princess Changle and reported the matter to Xiao Zhan.
The only interesting thing is that Jiang Xue doesn't seem to be completely indifferent to him.
I was originally hesitant about Xiao Zhan's invitation, but now I have made up my mind.
That person is known for his vengeance. Now that the feud has been established, there is no way to avoid it.
After Yun Yun finished writing the last sentence, she suddenly wrote down the four characters "Fourth brother, save me" in small cinnabar characters.
Yun Zhen glanced at it and sneered: "You can still breathe now, Xiao Zhan is showing mercy."
Deep down, he felt that this punishment was quite appropriate. It was better to ruin his voice than to cause trouble in the future due to his mouth.
The girl clutched her brother's wrist, tears welling up in her almond-shaped eyes.
If such a pitiful appearance were in Dongxiang's hometown, perhaps it would be able to win some sympathy.
But Yun Zhen just gently brushed her hand away: "Now in the territory of Qian Country, I have neither the energy nor the mind to care about the relationship between brothers."
"Let's go back to Dongxiang."
Seeing Yun Yun shaking her head desperately, he turned around and looked out the window at the garden full of peonies: "Since you don't want to leave, just stay in the other courtyard and don't cause any more trouble."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Yun had already stuffed the newly written note into his palm.
"You want me to escape with you?"
Yun Zhen stroked the words "This place is dangerous" with his fingertips, and suddenly laughed softly: "Even if it is a dangerous place, since I care about the princess, I will stay here."
Green smoke rose from the gilded beast furnace, blurring the emotions surging in his eyes.
Yun Yun's fingertips trembled slightly. The secret that she had only dared to reveal last night under the influence of alcohol was now laid out in the open by him.
She subconsciously looked around at the beams and pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes. Could it be that this person had forgotten that this was the Emperor's territory?
