Yijuan cloud

Chapter 143

As soon as Empress Dowager Xi was invited to rest in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall, the rest of the party couldn't stand it any longer.

Roger, the general of the Jinwu Guard who was responsible for guarding the capital, rebelled. Taking advantage of the opportunity of inspection, he led his troops to attack suddenly.

The guards tried their best to deal with it, but something unexpected happened. There were thousands of Jinwu guardsmen, and they were outnumbered. Fan Li led dozens of soldiers and rushed to rescue the holy driver.

I was so nervous that my heart twisted into a ball: "Your Majesty, do you pay your respects?"

Meng Degui said: "The emperor's holy body, Jin An, was just frightened. Long Yan was furious. I heard that he was furious during the morning court and severely punished the manipulator behind the scenes."

"Who is it?" I asked, holding my breath.

In fact, I already have the answer in my mind.

"Master Xu, Xu Ruitong."

I wasn't surprised, I nodded my head clearly, and said with lingering fear: "The assassin was really quick to attack."

"We didn't recruit him. That thief refused to recruit us. It's all General Fan's fault."

It turned out that although Roger had the upper hand and was able to take things by surprise, he wanted to ensure that he was safe and ordered his capable men to send a message to Fan Li, asking for help from Fan Li who was not going to court and was dissatisfied with the new emperor as an excuse to recover from his injuries.

Unexpectedly, Fan Li really brought his own soldiers to the scene, but it was only by defecting before the battle that the Xu family was able to reveal its flaws.

At night these days, the heat is no longer so strong. With the windows open, the wind blows very cool.

I sat quietly by the window embroidering the fan cover, thinking to myself that in a while it will be autumn, and if the fan cover is not embroidered well, I might not be able to use it this year, so I lowered my head and concentrated on sewing.

"I did this at night and it hurt my eyes."

Liang Xianyi's voice suddenly came. I was startled, but my heart was already filled with joy. I dropped my embroidery tools and stood up, saying, "I walk so quietly, it scares me every time."

"You are doing it too seriously. The lighting is not good. Let's embroider during the day. Let's go have tea."

Before anyone came in, Liang Xianyi was sitting at the table with a calm expression, holding up the teapot and slowly pouring tea. His bright yellow silk jacket was close to his body, and the arc was thin, showing that he had lost a lot of weight.

I couldn't help but reach out my hand and gently cover the back of his slender, white hand. "You don't have to come here every day. It's always unsafe at night."

He put the teapot down with graceful movements, shook my hand, and said, "If you can't come in and out freely in the capital, how can there be real security?"

He said it in an understatement, but I felt scared for a while.

He smiled and said: "But I'm scared? Do you think I'm doing well? And even though I struggled most of the night, General Fan came to the rescue. Not only did he find Xu Ruitong, but he also found a good general. Looking at it this way, he was assassinated last night. On the contrary, it’s a good thing.”

"I originally thought that Brother Fan was stubborn and upright, and even General Chang couldn't persuade him. He was afraid that he would live the life of Xian Yun Yehe. But I didn't expect that at the critical moment, he would still put the overall situation first. It can be seen that he was already worried I figured it out." I smiled.

Liang Xianyi smiled and said nothing, picked up the white jade tea cup and drank tea quietly. With his deep eyes lowered, he finished the cup and slowly filled it up again, tasting the tea very attentively.

I drank quietly with him for a while, and then said, "There is something that I know you don't want to hear right now, but I'm afraid that I might be late and miss the point, so I still want to tell you."

His face was getting tired and his eyes were hazy and sleepy, and he said, "You tell me."

I whispered: "Xu Ruitong committed a serious crime, how do you plan to deal with it?"

He said: "This is government affairs." At this point, he stopped again.I hurriedly said: "I know, I want to ask about Linghua's whereabouts. Her family is all slaves of the Xu family, and she was born in the family. If something happens to the Xu family, who knows where she will end up? I and I She is very sympathetic and I want her to come and accompany me.”

"I thought it was something important. I'll just send someone to pick her up tomorrow."

His voice became lower and sleepier.

I was excited in my heart, thinking that I might see Linghua tomorrow, but I didn't dare to disturb his mind anymore. I called Wenluo in in a low voice, told her to prepare for bed, and then urged Liang Xianyi to fall asleep quickly.

The next day, just after breakfast, I urged Wenluo to pack up a room for Linghua to live in.

I even went to have a look and felt relieved only when I felt it was appropriate.

Xiyuan is full of garden landscapes.

I had not been in the mood to enjoy it in the past few days, but today, thinking that Fan Li had finally let go of his worries and was willing to serve Xianyi, and that Linghua was coming soon, I was in a rare happy mood, so I wandered around.

There are rare and exotic animals everywhere in the park. The white cranes, elk, peacocks and other animals are not afraid of people.

Especially the female peacocks, when they saw the dresses of the palace ladies accompanying me being blown by the wind, they rushed to open their tails.

I found it interesting, so I sat next to the beauty on the bridge and watched.

The breeze was blowing on my face, the water under the bridge was rippling, and the weeping willows were like a giant painting of beauty. When my heart moved, I took out my flute, put it to my lips and started to play.

After playing a song, Wenluo took the lead and clapped her hands in praise. She smiled and said: "The girl plays so well, it feels like eating a sweet peach. If the emperor hears it, he will be very happy."

I looked at the lake and smiled: "He has heard me play the flute."

After I said that, I noticed something was wrong and felt very embarrassed. The chuckles of several palace maids soon came to my ears.

I blushed immediately, pretended not to hear, stood up and strode back with my hands behind my back.

Not long after returning to the dormitory, Meng Degui came in and said: "Miss Linghua will probably not be able to find her for a while."

"How to say?"

"After the emperor was assassinated yesterday, he issued an order to raid the Xu Mansion. The maids and slaves in the mansion took advantage of the chaos and ran away. The remaining ones were imprisoned and waiting to be used as official slaves. That girl Linghua and her family None of them are among them. I led people to search everywhere, but still couldn't find him. Maybe he has escaped out of the city." Meng Degui said in a low voice.

I was very disappointed, thought silently for a while, sighed, and asked, "Where is the Xu family?"

"If someone commits rebellion, they will be executed."

My heart was suddenly shocked, as if I had been hit by a heavy hammer. I couldn't breathe for a long time, and my eyes were sore. In my mind, I couldn't help but think of Xu Ruxin dressed as a maid, sticking her head out of a simple carriage, waving to me, asking me to get in quickly. Car and enter the palace with her.

She also asked me if I would be afraid if this trip never came back.
I am not afraid, and she is not afraid as the "Princess of Italy".

But she didn't know until her death that Liang Xianyi never had any love for her, only hatred.

When he married her, he also had hatred in his heart, but she didn't know it, and she didn't know it until her death.
