Rebirth of the poisonous concubine

Chapter 423 The Ship Is Leaking
Chapter 423 The Ship Is Leaking
"It's a coincidence that the girl came, there is just one boat left, please go ahead." The boatman stooped, took the broken silver, and waved his hands again and again, "There are a lot more, we don't need so much..."

Ye Qingyao was slightly taken aback, "Hey, there were only two boats here in the past, but are there other people renting boats today?"

"That's right, a young man in rich clothes rented a boat early this morning." The boatman lowered his head and said with unnatural eyes.

Ye Qingyao didn't say much, she nodded and walked towards the boat by the lake, she said in surprise:
"New boat? Boatman, is this your boat?"

The boatman coughed and said, "That's right, these... my little old man's two old boats have been useless for a long time, and two new boats have been built..."

"Oh." Ye Qingyao nodded, and boarded the boat with Wei Huo.

The boatman said, "Does the girl need to row the boat? Or is it the old rules for you to do what you want?"

"No need, I can do it myself." Ye Qingyao waved his hand, and Wei Huo, who was beside him, had already picked up the long wormwood and swung away.

The boat sailed slowly into the lotus bushes.

"This place is remote. If the young master hadn't mentioned it by accident before, I wouldn't have known about it. I didn't expect that there would be people coming here to enjoy the lotus..." Ye Qingyao looked at the red lotus and green lotus, and smiled slightly, "But it's really a place here. It’s a good place to enjoy the lotus. It’s quiet and elegant, and the lotus flowers in Yinghe Lake are blooming well, but it’s too noisy, the princes and nobles flock here, and few people really go to appreciate the lotus.”

Sniffing lightly, the lotus fragrance is tangy.

Ye Qingyao listened slightly, only the sound of splashing water, nothing else.The boat stops in the middle of the lake, and the lotus leaves covering the sky are infinitely green, so it is not cool.

"I didn't hear the sound of the piano, probably Jun Mochen is not here today." Wei Huo looked at her and said.

Ye Qingyao opened her eyes, her ears were slightly red, "I told you that today I'm here to pick lotus flowers, not to listen to the piano. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't let you eat the lotus flower cake."

"Tsk." Wei Huo barked, "Sweet or not, salty or not, only someone has such elegance."

Ye Qingyao gave him a light look, and Qiong's nose wrinkled slightly, "Okay, then you don't want to eat it. Hmph!"

Wei Huo couldn't help laughing, but didn't speak again.

When chatting with Jun Mochen before, he once mentioned that Lianyan Lake on the outskirts of Beijing is a good place to appreciate lotuses, and he even put a boat there.However, this wild lotus has no rare varieties, and has never been liked by those princes and nobles, so few people come.

A few days ago, Ye Qingyao just happened to be idle, so she came to Lianyan Lake. Unexpectedly, she heard the sound of Jun Mochen's piano.

Although no one saw Jun Mochen, she knew his piano sound.The piano is born from the heart, just listen to it silently, and you will know what he is thinking.

In this lotus pond with no one in the wild, we know each other without seeing each other.

This lake is huge, of course if you follow the sound of the piano to find it, you will naturally see Jun Mochen.But she didn't know what to say when she saw him, whether he would not like outsiders here, and would not come next time.

Therefore, I have been here several times, but I just listened to the piano silently, and left after listening.

Do not interrupt, do not say a word.

……

After watching Ye Qingyao's boat sail into the lotus bushes, two guards with knives walked out of the thatched cottage by the lake.

"Master, I told her exactly as you told her. I didn't talk nonsense. You said you would let me go..." The boatman trembled and said tremblingly.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them pulled out a knife and stabbed the boatman in the abdomen. The boatman was stabbed to death at that time, and he didn't have time to scream.

How could they leave a life alive and cause trouble for Prince Rui.

The two raised their hands and feet one by one, and dragged the body of the boatman to the nearby woods for burial.

……

Among the lotus flowers, on a delicate boat, Huangfu Sheng was wearing a dark purple embroidered brocade robe, sitting cross-legged, holding a cup of clear tea in his hand.

After a while, a guard emerged from the bottom of the water and reported, "My lord, Ye Qingyao has already boarded the boat, and the boatman has been cleaned up."

"Where is Ye Qingyao?" Huangfu Sheng asked.

The guard said, "It's more than ten miles southeast of the prince, and he is coming here. It is estimated that something will happen... one mile away from the prince."

"That's right, keep watching carefully, don't be spotted by Ye Qingyao's guards." Huangfu Sheng urged.

"Yes."

The guard sank into the water with a grunt, and the water surface returned to calm.

Dong Lai said courteously, "My lord, the Osprey used to be a pearl fisherman, and he knows how to swim with his breath held. He lurks in the bottom of the water just like a fish. He doesn't move at all, but his speed is so fast, he swishes like an eagle and disappears. He was following him secretly, and it is impossible for Wei Huo to find him. Everything has been done according to your instructions, and it will be done properly."

"If this matter is accomplished, give him the first credit." Huangfu Sheng said in a very good mood, "By the way, that boatman really said that there is no one else in the lake?"

Dong Lai replied, "The subordinate has a knife on his neck, so forgive him for not daring to lie. This place is remote, and no one comes here. The old boatman came here early in the morning and at five o'clock to cast nets. If If someone enters the lake, it is impossible for him not to know."

"You're right. I'm a little nervous." Huangfu Sheng laughed, "It's just a small role, but it's been too bad recently, so that I even value an easy game so much."

Dong Lai boasted, "My lord, this is a lion fighting a rabbit with all its strength, and it will definitely succeed immediately. This wooden boat is glued with white wax. After soaking in water for a while, it will stop sticking and sink immediately. It is Ye Qingyao's blessing to go into the water to save people."

This new boat was prepared by them to deliberately frame Ye Qingyao into the water so that the hero Huangfu Sheng could save the beauty.

"She is Mu Xi's younger sister, so it doesn't matter if the king gives her this bit of blessing." Huangfu Sheng smiled lightly, with a hint of complacency in his eyes.

Lingwuhou Mansion must win over.

……

Deep in the lotus bushes, a small boat is moored.

The man in a white robe on the boat was soundly asleep, his face was blocked by the fan that was spread out, but it was hard to hide his breezy temperament.

A gentleman is like a jade, unrestrained and casual, strayed into the depths of the lotus root, and fell asleep with a pillow full of lotus fragrance, from the stars and the moon to the twilight of the morning.Heaven and earth are home, Qinghe is companion.

Suddenly, a sudden exclamation broke this peaceful picture.

The man in white was suddenly awakened, his eyes were sleepy, "It's strange, why is there a woman's voice..."

"What to do, the boat is leaking..."

The woman's voice seemed to be very far away and a little vague, but it made him feel very familiar.

Ye Qingyao.
