Yutai Bi

Chapter 270
King Teng suddenly became angry: "You know that you dare to risk yourself? If it weren't for this king not leaving, and it happened to be this Shuiyue Nunnery, do you think that no one would know that you were hiding in the meditation room? If you fall into a trap, everything will be fine when someone takes the bait? In the face of absolute power, even if you ask Li Shangzhi to mobilize three hundred men, do you think you can catch them all? They are all dead men! Do you think it’s just the Cui family? ?”

How many do you think after asking, Cen Sanniang was silent and said: "How many of the ten guards outside died?"

"I'm not dead, I'm afraid I'll make a noise and tell you to run away, I've been drugged and fainted."

Cen Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, her stomach twitched, she didn't know whether the child was kicking or waving her arms, she twitched from the pain, her brows were tightly knit together.

"What's the matter?" King Teng was taken aback, walked a few steps closer, and stretched out his hand.

Cen Sanniang subconsciously shrank back protecting her stomach.

King Teng's hand was frozen in the air, and he slowly stretched it back.

There was a touch of sadness on his face: "I can tell you. The courtyard where you live and the topographic map of the Duke's Mansion were all drawn by Xiaoqing. She has a photographic memory. She went to your mansion just to draw the Duke's Mansion. Map. You were right to guard against me. I was kind to Jing Xin in the past, so you don’t have to make things difficult for her.”

After saying this, he turned and left.

Simply and neatly, without further explanation.

He went out on the front foot, and Fang's mother followed him in: "Young Madam, are you okay?"

"It's fine. Leave the outside matters to the second uncle and Hei Qi, and it should be fine. I'll just rest here. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do." Cen Sanniang rubbed between her brows wearily, and asked Mother Fang to support her Lie down.

Two streets away from Shuiyue Temple, King Teng stepped into a courtyard and took off his veiled hat.

"My lord, after planning for so long, you suddenly..." The guard beside him muttered in a low voice.

King Teng said coldly: "I don't need to explain to anyone what I do. Those aristocratic families are the most cunning. They can't even count on a woman who is less than twenty. How can it be done?"

Shuiyue Nunnery has been tossing all night, and after Teng Wang changed his clothes after taking a bath, he could faintly hear the movement of servants getting up from the surrounding people.There was a creaking sound of wooden doors opening and closing, and the sound of water being drawn from the well and poured into the tank.The wheels of the car rolled heavily on the bluestone road, and the hawkers who set up breakfast stalls had already pulled their carts out.

King Teng covered his face with a hot handkerchief, and a gust of hot air rushed to his face, covering his tightly frowning brows.

Only he knew in his heart that all the contempt for the aristocratic family was all lies.When he joined it, he also thought that Cen Sanniang would have a miscarriage.Through meditation, he became aware of her arrangements.He didn't spread the news.Entering Shuiyue Nunnery through the secret road, he calmly watched the assassin stunned the guards of the Duke's Mansion, and he never thought of helping her.

He hid outside the meditation room, watching quietly, disdainful of her arrangement, and laughed at her innocence.However, at that moment, he saw the assassin raise his sword at her... The man was going to kill her, and he shot an arrow without even thinking about it.

All the plans turned into nothingness in an instant.He didn't feel any regrets at all, he was only thankful that he had gone through such a journey.

She was half leaning on the couch, her abdomen was swollen high, probably for more than five months.Aborting the baby at this time will kill her.He abandoned his original plan.

It was like an invisible hand messing up the chess game in front of him, one move was wrong, and the whole game was wrong.This chaotic chess, how difficult it is to get back to its original layout?King Teng felt the pulsation of his forehead.

"My lord, what shall we do next?" Mrs. Xu's calm and gentle voice came from outside the screen.

King Teng took off the facecloth covering his face, and the fresh morning air rushed towards his face, making his mind clearer.He just reached a tacit agreement with those veterans and those aristocratic families to provide some information.Even if he killed the assassin and made the operation fall short, they didn't know that he was in Chang'an and had been to Shuiyue Nunnery.Not to mention that the Master of Shuiyue Temple had received his great kindness and built a secret passage for him to come and go freely.

"Go back to Longzhou. Since she has appointed Du Yansui's general, she should protect his wife and children. She doesn't have this ability, so she just obediently be an obedient queen. Why should the king jump into the game and sit on the mountain?" Watch the tiger fight, wait for the snipe and the clam to fight!" Caring care jumped into King Teng's mind, and he said coldly, wanting to use this cold tone to get rid of the four things that shouldn't appear in his heart. Character.

Mrs. Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone became lighter: "Yes. I will arrange it now."

King Teng asked again: "How are Xiaoqing and Su Bai?"

Mrs. Xu said softly: "The emperor punished them to go to the clothes washing bureau, and their legs have already been crippled by Mrs. Du. Living is also suffering. If it falls into her hands, it will inevitably be detrimental to the prince in the future. The concubine decides to send them away. No A little pain."

After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear King Teng speak.Mrs. Xu hesitated and asked: "Mrs. Du's side..."

King Teng said quietly: "You personally arrange for the steady woman and the medical girl. Let her be born safely. In case Du Yansui is in danger, I will leave some blood for the Du family."

Mrs. Xu looked at the blurred figure of King Teng on the other side of the screen with complicated emotions.At this moment, she couldn't understand King Teng either.Is he trying to leave the Du family behind or is he reluctant to part with Cen Sanniang's dead body?Since he and Du Yansui are in an endless game, why should he protect her again.Protecting Cen Sanniang is tantamount to leaving a way out for Du Yansui, so what was his original plan?

But the master's thoughts are changing rapidly, and she has never been able to figure it out.Mrs. Xu thought of King Teng in the Tai Chi Palace many years ago, and felt sorry for him. He had already lived a very hard life, and there was nothing wrong with letting his temper go.

Mrs. Xu replied respectfully: "I know."

When Cen Sanniang woke up, it was already dawn.

The faint sound of chanting like rolling balls came from outside.The voices of the nuns floated in the air, like clouds in the middle of the mountain, ethereal and ethereal.

"Young madam woke up? Did you sleep well yesterday?" Ah Qiu and Xia Chu kept asking.Fengchun carried a copper basin and fetched water in, walking lightly.

Mother Fang was bringing in the food box with the girl, her hair combed meticulously: "I cooked millet porridge in the morning, picked fresh pine needles from Qingsongju and steamed longan stuffed buns with tofu..."

As if last night was my own dream, as if nothing happened?At first glance, he was indeed sleeping in Master Jingxin's meditation room.Cen Sanniang wondered, why were they all so happy when they hacked and killed last night?

Served by Ah Qiu and Xia Qiu, Cen Sanniang cleaned her face, combed her bun again, and sat down at the table.

The buns are stuffed with tofu and straw mushrooms, and there is a layer of fresh green pine needles under the steamer, which is fragrant.The hot millet porridge served with shredded bamboo shoots mixed with sesame oil is very ironic in the stomach.

"Delicious." Cen Sanniang praised, ate three small buns and a bowl of porridge, and put down her chopsticks.

"Young Madam, how about walking back to Zhuju to digest food?"

These girls looked mysterious, and Cen Sanniang started from Shanruliu.

The air is fresh in the morning, and the faint fragrance of trees and grass leaves refreshes the heart.Aqiu and Fengchun supported her and walked towards the Zhuju along the stone corridor.

"The door has been changed. The carpet has also been changed. There are still arrow holes in the wall." The bamboo forest is still quiet, and the courtyard is still elegant.It doesn't look like much, except for some extra holes in the bamboo wall.Cen Sanniang glanced twice and said.

Ah Qiu and Xia Chu helped her sit down on the corridor.

Looking at the maids and women in the yard standing with their hands down, or busy with their busy work, Cen Sanniang smiled slightly: "It seems that nothing happened last night!"

A Qiuhou glanced at Xia Chu, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Young Madam, tell us, why did hundreds of soldiers suddenly appear in the yard? This servant is thinking too much."

"Two days before we came, Second Uncle quietly led the soldiers to deploy around Shuiyue Nunnery. If something happened in the nunnery, they would come quickly." Cen Sanniang thought of King Teng as she spoke.

Was he really involved?Xiaoqing was sent to draw the map of the Duke's Mansion, why did he let himself go?Since he can avoid people's eyes and ears, he can go in and out of Shuiyue Nunnery, and if he really wants his own life, he doesn't need those dead soldiers to take action.

She really can't understand him.Say he treats me well, it seems that every time we meet, I feel tense and nervous.Say he is not good to himself.And often easily let her go.

Cen Sanniang changed the subject: "Tell me about what happened last night."

Xia Chu suddenly blushed.

Aqiu even compared the one with the painting and said: "...the wounded ones were alive, and they all took poison one after another. Hei Ye said they were all dead men. They carried them out overnight. They cleaned up the place again. The meditator early in the morning The mother invited the little master to invite the warm winter, and the puja continued. Heiye said that we should finish the three-day puja here. The uncle led the soldiers to guard the backyard tightly. When the puja is over, we will Just go back to the mansion in a good manner, and make those people mad."

That's right, the opponent left behind more than two dozen dead men and dared not speak up.The Duke's Mansion also pretended that nothing happened.I don't know how many people were secretly vomiting blood with anger.

Cen Sanniang smiled and said: "You can arrange it as you please. I have no strength to restrain a chicken. Anyway, Xia Chu dared to shoot with a crossbow! It seems that Master Hei is really talented, and he even forced the delicate girl into a hero." Female."

"Young Madam!" Xia Chu stomped her feet in shame, gave A Qiu a hard look, turned and entered the room.

Aqiu laughed loudly, and whispered in Cen Sanniang's ear: "Your servant is looking out quietly, Master Hei is protecting Xia Chu and hiding behind the cabinet, Xia Chu is snuggling beside Hei Master like a rabbit."

Cen Sanniang couldn't help laughing: "You, once you're married, you have no taboos in talking. Don't say it out loud, and beware of turning against Xia Chu. Where's Master Hei?"

"Go back to the Duke's mansion and report to the old lady. It is not convenient for him to enter the nunnery during the day."
