Chapter 112 The Death of Qin Yu
Chapter 112 The Death of Qin Yu
Ivory, to Xie Qiao, is just an ordinary thing.
To Nangong Xiao, it has extraordinary significance!
She threw it on Qin Suan's carriage casually, and she just remembered it wrongly, obviously she didn't take it to heart.
Nangong Xiao's heart seemed to be sliced by a sharp knife, coldness and violence flashed in his eyes, and he endured it the next moment.
What can he do to her?
Can't do anything to her!
He only wanted to marry her into the mansion.
"I'll go get it back." Xie Qiao felt that the item had been given away, so it no longer belonged to her. Since the owner asked for it, it was natural to return it.
The smile on the corner of Nangong Xiao's mouth showed a trace of coldness, and the emotions in his eyes were mixed, she will take it?
How stupid is he?
Give her a chance to hang out with Qin Mo personally?
"No, I'll get it myself." Nangong Xiao couldn't bear that she didn't take him seriously, tapped his fingers on the table, saw Bai Zhi coming in with a food box from the window, and said with a smile in his eyes: " A few years ago, I took you to eat and drink, but I didn't keep my promise, and today I have a rare free time, so I will keep what I said back then."
"No need." Xie Qiao looked out the window, gesturing with his fingers.
The moment she moved her fingers, Nangong Xiao grabbed her hand with his big palm, pulled her up from the bed, and pushed her into the clean room, "Change clothes quickly." A corner outside the window.
Xie Qiao saw him walk out of the inner room, waited in the outer room, looked at the wedding dress on his body, and changed it.
"Miss, do you want your servant to inform the county king?" Bai Zhi stood uneasy at the door of the clean room, saw Xie Qiao come out, and said dissatisfiedly: "The prince of Daqing, who doesn't understand any rules, broke into your boudoir , when others see the gossip, the county king is afraid that there will be a misunderstanding."
Xie Qiao's eyes were cold, and he looked at her faintly: "You are the king of Guquan County."
Bai Zhi's face turned pale, and Xie Qiao's words clearly had another meaning, and she quickly said, "This servant is thinking of you."
Xie Qiao took a deep look at her, and returned to the outer room without saying a word.
"Okay?" Nangong Xiao looked at the new make-up, and asked considerately: "Where do you want to eat?"
"It's up to the owner." Xie Qiao can refuse him, but Nangong Xiao is a bad debt from the past, rejecting this time, and the next time, some things need to be explained clearly.
Nangong Xiao took her to the restaurant closest to Duke Fu's mansion, and ordered a table of Xie Qiao's favorite food.
The dishes are served on the table one by one.
Xie Qiao was taken aback, most of these were the food that she had eaten in Daqing back then, and she didn't touch the chopsticks or ate little, so she didn't see it on the table. Obviously, he took care to remember what she liked and what she didn't like.
A few years later, he clearly remembered it.
To her, he was just a passerby.
If you don't have other thoughts, you can make friends with him.
It's a pity that he has an impure mind and cannot have more entanglements.
"Why, don't you like it?" Seeing that she didn't move, Nangong Xiao glanced at the exquisite dishes on the table: "I don't like it, let's change it." After finishing speaking, he called Xiaoer over.
"My lord is determined to take care of my preferences." The corner of Xie Qiao's mouth curled slightly, showing a light smile: "If you are so considerate in everything, I don't need to bother you."
Nangong Xiao frowned when he heard this, his face gradually turned cold, his eyes were as cold as a pool of cold.
"you like him?"
Nangong Xiao's eyes were gloomy and cold, and his hands on the table were clenched into fists.
"Don't even think about it! Except for this matter, this king will depend on you!" Nangong Xiao interrupted what she was about to say, "Whatever he can give you, this king can give, and what he can't give, I can also give!"
"you……"
"This king promises you, you are the only one in this life!"
Xie Qiao's heart trembled, as if it was stuck in his throat.How could she have made him obsessed so deeply that she was willing to do this step.
It is true that his proposal is the dream of many women, and it is also the yearning in her heart.
But, after all, he was not the man in her heart.
"My lord, a woman who is not what you want, I can't marry you, will you marry?" Xie Qiao's tone was very calm, his eyes as clear as cold springs stared into his eyes, and he didn't miss the slight change in his expression.Just now, he hesitated.
Obviously he understood what she meant, but he didn't know how to lie to himself, or speak according to his heart, and fell into the trap of her words.
Just when Xie Qiao thought he would be the former, Nangong Xiao murmured, "No."
"My lord should know that I am the same." Xie Qiao pointed to the dish with coriander, and said slowly: "For example, this dish, I don't like coriander, and I even hate it to the extreme. Being forced to eat a bite is like eating arsenic. Forced to eat this dish, I would rather starve to death..." The clear and bright eyes said seriously: "I don't want to give up."
Some things, try to accept, get used to it slowly.
But there are some things that cannot be accepted from the very beginning.
Nangong Xiao's complexion changed suddenly, he stood up on the table, leaned over to her, stared at her coldly and said: "You hated Qin Mo at first, but you can accept him in the end, why can't I?"
"Because it was given to him." Xie Qiao pointed to his heart.
Nangong Xiao Rumo's eyes were full of violent wind and rain, he stared at her closely, and said word by word: "You always know what hurts the most."
Xie Qiao pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Nangong Xiao sneered and said, "Even so, I won't let go!" After calming down his emotions, he picked up a piece of roasted venison with chopsticks and put it in Xie Qiao's bowl, and said kindly, "Try it."
Xie Qiao frowned, just now he was furious like a storm, and the next moment it was like a warm wind and warm sun, his emotions could be controlled freely, and the change was too fast.
Nangong Xiao frowned: "Why, you hate me, and this table of dishes also suffered because of me?"
Xie Qiao took a bite of the venison, and Nangong Xiaosheng gave her a bowl of purple ginseng and pheasant soup: "I'll take you home after eating."
Two people, each with their own thoughts, have the same taste.
In just a quarter of an hour, the two of them were half full.
Xie Qiao rinsed his mouth with tea.
Nangong Xiao raised his eyebrows and said: "Da Zhou eats free food, what will happen?"
Xie Qiao's complexion changed, and he said coldly, "You don't have to waste your time, even if you do it all over again, my heart will never change."
Nangong Xiao looked at her leaving back expressionlessly, the dark light in his eyes flashed away.He murmured: "Will it not change..."
-
After that farewell, Nangong Xiao didn't come to her for a long time.
But Yu Qinglan, who was going to leave Beijing, changed her mind and left after her wedding.
In the Chonghua building, Pinellia and Bai Zhi hurried in and out, and prepared glutinous rice and wild reed leaves according to Xie Qiao's instructions.
"It's strange, the horn millet uses millet, why did the lady prepare glutinous rice?" Bai Zhi asked in bewilderment.
"The master did as he ordered, why not?" Ban Xia lowered her head and placed the things on the table.
Xie Qiao is weaving long life strands, tying them and putting them in his purse.
Clean hands and cut the pinellia pork belly into pieces, marinate it, and prepare pine nuts, shrimps, walnuts, and red dates.
Bai Zhi was surprised and said: "Miss, can you add something to the horn millet? Isn't the taste strange?"
Xie Qiao said with a smile: "It's not strange, you will know after eating."
Zongzi are wrapped into triangles of the same size and put into boxes, eight in a box.
Bai Zhi picked up a meat dumpling, the wild rice leaves exude a fragrance, take a bite and taste it, the saltiness is suitable, the oil is not greasy.
"good to eat!"
Ban Xia and Lan Yu nodded repeatedly while eating rice dumplings.
Xie Qiao said with a smile: "Don't eat too much, send the food to these mansions."
Bai Zhi took the zongzi and four long-lived strands to the second room.
Lan Yu sent two boxes of zongzi and Chang Ming Ling to Prince Rong's residence, and gave them to Yu Qinglan and Lan Yang respectively.
"Miss, is there no delivery from the Prince's Mansion?" Ban Xia looked at a box of rice dumplings on the table, there were only six of them, one of each flavor.
Compared with other zongzi given away, there is an extra eight-treasure stuffing inside.
"No need." Xie Qiao's eyes fell on the courtyard, and he saw him coming against the light, his figure made more and more tall by the black robe.
Qin Mou's eyes fell on the longevity thread in her hand, and she raised her eyebrows, "Am I the last one?"
Xie Qiao had gentle eyebrows and a quiet smile, and tied the longevity thread on his arm for him. "My own, are you still so polite, arguing first?"
Qin Mo smiled and said, "It's not mine." He took out a sachet from his sleeve and tied it around her waist himself: "Mother prepared this."
Xie Qiao was stunned, her eyes fell on the sachet on her waist, the pattern embroidered on it was Ruyi pattern, and the smell of medicine made her eyes dim.
"Thank you, princess, for me." The smile on Xie Qiao's face faded.
"When the time comes when you offer her the bridal tea, thank her personally." Qin Mo opened the box, picked out a rice dumpling, took a bite, revealing half of the jujube filling, and said meaningfully: "Whether I can achieve my wish depends on the is you."
He spoke with ridicule, but Xie Qiao turned a deaf ear to it and stopped talking.
Qin Mo realized that her interest had faded, and her fingertips rested on the center of her frowning brows: "Is there something on your mind?"
Xie Qiao shook his head: "Tomorrow is the Fifth Festival, there is a dragon boat race. The emperor will take Concubine Shu out of the palace to watch. Do you want to accompany me?"
"Not this year."
Xie Qiao thought about it, perhaps because of the matter of the eldest princess, Emperor Ming was extremely suspicious, and he was afraid that he would not dare to entrust his life to Qin Mu for protection.
"Tomorrow I will watch the dragon boat race with you." Qin Mo said, "Have you seen it in previous years?"
"Never."
Qin Mo said pitifully, "I will accompany you to participate in every festival in the future."
"Okay!" Although Xie Qiao knew it was impossible, he didn't want to dampen his interest.
At this moment, Bai Zhi came in with a box of zongzi in her hand, glanced at Qin Mou, bit her lips and said in a low voice, "Miss, this is the horned millet sent by King Zhan."
"Reward for you." Qin Mo spoke for Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao jokingly said, "You are becoming more and more invisible."
"Master, someone from the palace invites you into the palace." Lan Xing stood at the door and passed on a message.
"You go."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." After saying that, Qin Mo left with the zongzi.
Until he was nowhere to be seen, Xie Qiao played with the sachet on his waist with his fingers, slightly hooked his lips, and said to Bai Zhi: "Ban Xia is here, let her come to see me."
-
The next day.
Xie Qiao was awakened by Pinellia early in the morning, dressed neatly, and finished his breakfast.
Someone from the Prince's Mansion came to report to Xie Qiao: "Miss Rong, the Prince is unable to come and pick you up in the palace today, you go by yourself and meet at Lengmei Pavilion on the third floor of Wangyue Tower."
"it is good."
Xie Qiao looked at the extremely festive mansion decorated with lights and festoons, his eyes flickered slightly, and it was the wedding day tomorrow.
Mrs. Liu did not agree with her leaving the mansion, but she heard that she had an appointment with the county king, so Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment before agreeing.
Xie Qiao and Liu Shi went out of the mansion together, instead of going to Moon Tower, they wandered the streets with Rong Shu.
"Look, there are people coming from the palace." Rong Shu pointed at the long line, and Jin Yiwei cleared his way, a few steps away from each other.
Xie Qiao watched the sale of facial makeup, and pulled Rong Shu over, holding a ghost face.
Rong Shu looked at the hideous ghost face in her hand, pointed at the orchid face and said, "This one suits you."
Xie Qiao took a look, put down the ghost mask in his hand, and said with an orchid face mask, "That's it." After paying, Xie Qiao and Rong Shu said, "I'm going to Wangyue Tower, do you want to go together?"
Rong Shu declined, "No, Second Master Qin invited me to watch the dragon boat race together."
The two parted ways.
Xiaoer led Xie Qiao to Lengmei Pavilion on the third floor, and unexpectedly saw Qin Yu inside.
Qin Yu's eyes fell on the sachet on Xie Qiao's waist, his eyes flickered slightly, and there were melon and fruit snacks on the table. "Sister Rong, please sit down."
Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite her.
Qin Yu personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xie Qiao: "My brother hasn't come yet, we'll wait for him here before we go down together."
Xie Qiao lowered his eyes to the wine glass, but didn't drink it.
Qin Yu covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Sister Rong is afraid that I will poison you?" After finishing speaking, he drank Xie Qiao's glass of wine, and held up the empty glass to give Xie Qiao a look: "I did a lot of stupid things in the past. Now that I know my mistake, I hope that sister Rong will not be as knowledgeable as me."
Xie Qiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he drank the wine she handed over, and poured a glass for her: "We are about to become a family, and all the past will disappear."
The smile on Qin Yu's face deepened, and he said guiltily: "I misunderstood my brother before and hurt him a lot just now, and I will never do it again in the future."
Xie Qiao was playing with the wine glass in his hand, brushing the rim of the glass slightly with his fingers, the silver needles on his fingertips were stained with black, and a bone-chilling coldness flashed in his eyes.
"big sister?"
Rong Shu's voice came from outside the private room, Xie Qiao stood up, his figure swaying slightly.He reached out to support the table, rubbed his forehead, and signaled Ban Xia to open the door.
The moment Rong Shu saw Xie Qiao, she breathed a sigh of relief.After she heard that Qin Yu was in the private room, she couldn't help being worried.
"Big sister, can you accompany me to find Qin Yin?" Rong Shu glanced at Qin Yu who was always smiling. The smile on her face made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xie Qiao was about to refuse.
Ban Xia said: "Miss, the King of War invited you to meet me on the boat yesterday." He picked up the orchid mask that was placed beside him and said, "Let you take this with you."
Xie Qiao took the mask and said to Qin Yu apologetically, "Princess, I'm afraid I'm going to be excused."
Qin Yu looked away from the orchid mask in her hand, and said understandingly: "It's okay, brother is here, so I'll tell you that you and Younger Sister Rong went to find your cousin together."
Xie Qiao took out a sachet from his sleeve, tied it around her waist and said, "I'm not good at sewing, so don't dislike me."
Qin Yu looked at the sachet on his waist, and said with a happy face: "This is the first sachet I received on the Fifth Festival." After finishing speaking, he urged: "Go quickly, don't let the king of war take it for a long time." waited."
Xie Qiao followed Rong Shu out of the private room, all the smiles on his face were suppressed.
"Why is she here?" Rong Shu knew that Qin Yu was full of bad taste, and Qin Mo also knew about his sister, so how could Xie Qiao and Qin Yu be arranged together?
"It would be surprising if she wasn't here." Xie Qiao took a meaningful look at the closed private room, and went downstairs wearing an orchid mask to the pier where the boat was parked.
On the street where people come and go, suddenly, a group of people with ghost faces on their faces, holding sharpened bamboo sticks in their hands, swallowing flames from their mouths, inserting knives in their mouths, and pulling them out again, performing acrobatics.
One of them was a tall and burly man with a hideous ghostly face. He conjured a sack out of nowhere and surrounded a young man in civilian clothes. He put the sack under his head and uncovered it the next moment. The clothes on his body Transformed into a satin brocade robe.
Everyone exclaimed and applauded like thunder.
Suddenly, a few people separated, surrounded Xie Qiao and walked towards the alley.
Qin Yu, who was standing in the moon-watching tower, watched the face in Xie Qiao's hand fall to the ground in the crowd, his hands and feet were weak and unable to break away from the siege of several people, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Picking up the orchid mask bought by Madam Liu, she put it on, walked out of the restaurant, and went to the pier.
The juggler walked up to Qin Yu, and suddenly whistled, making strange noises.Two people rushed out of them and surrounded her.
Seeing this, the people behind surrounded her and walked towards the corner of the narrow alley.
Qin Yu was shocked, and instantly remembered that it must be the mask on his face!
"It's me! Let go!" Qin Yu shouted anxiously, reaching out to remove the mask, but someone grabbed her hand tightly.
Frightened, she ordered them to surround the woman with the orchid mask and the sachet around her waist.They clearly besieged Xie Qiao, why did they come to besiege her?
Suddenly, she stepped on Xie Qiao's mask that had been squeezed out, revealing a ferocious ghostly face, and was startled in her heart.
She's hit!
Fall into your own trap!
She wears an orchid mask and a sachet tied by Xie Qiao around her waist!
"Wrong! You made a mistake!" Qin Yu hissed, Xie Qiao had a ghostly face, why was he surrounded by people?This question has been bothering her, and no one explained it to her.
Noisy noise, everyone ignored her call.
It was dark before her eyes, and she was caught in a sack.
"Help! Help—" Qin Yu struggled desperately.
The people onlookers had experienced the previous scene, and they all applauded, thinking that they were going to do tricks again.
Qin Yu's heart sank when he heard the booing.
The big men with ghost faces moved sharpened bamboo sticks up and down in their hands, surrounded Qin Yu in a circle, and danced a ghost dance around her a few times.Suddenly, with the pointed end pointing down, it plunged towards the sack.
Seeing this scene, the common people thought it was a new trick, and they all shouted: "Zha! Hurry up!"
The big men all plunged down, Qin Yu shivered in pain all over his body, and put his head in his hands.He shouted desperately: "Wrong, wrong catch! Help, help—"
Her voice was drowned out.
For a moment, the sack was stained red by the oozing blood.
After an unknown amount of time, the big men threw down the sacks, held blood-stained bamboo sticks, and walked away with fire in their mouths.
"Hey, look, the blood on the ground is as real as it is!" said one of the crowd.
"Really! Let's see what they changed this time."
Several young people stepped forward, opened the sack, their faces turned pale with fright, and they fell to the ground, "Dead...dead!"
Qin Yu's whole body was stained with blood, and his body was full of holes from the stabbing. His eyes were wide open, and his complexion was grim due to pain, which was extremely creepy.
The crowd broke out into a scream and scattered.
Nangong Xiao, who was standing by the window on the second floor of Wangyue Building, thought deeply in his cold eyes. After a long while, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he walked downstairs slowly, heading in one direction.
Xie Qiao, who was about to be stabbed to death, came out from a hidden alley, followed by several men in black holding ghost masks.
Looking at Qin Yu who was lying in a pool of blood, Xie Qiao's eyes were like ice and snow. As early as when Qin Sui gave her the sachet from the eldest princess, she realized that something was wrong. The medicine in the sachet was not poison, but just a few drops. Mixed together, it will make people dizzy and weak in limbs.
Early this morning, when the county palace sent someone to notify her, Xie Qiao knew that there was indeed a problem.
If Qin Mo couldn't come due to something, he would definitely ask Lan Xing to notify him, and he would never send anyone else in the mansion.
And re-embroider Pinellia a sachet that is exactly the same as the one embroidered by the eldest princess, and wear it on her body to let the other party know that she has 'entered'.
Sure enough, Qin Yu was waiting in the moon-watching tower, and seeing the sachet on her waist, he was still worried, and added spices to the wine.
So, she will count on it.
The hidden guard found out about Qin Yu's plan, and she ordered her people to mix in, and when they saw the man with the ghost mask in his hand, they took her away.
And Qin Yu, who wanted to marry King Zhan, heard that she had an appointment with King Zhan, and would definitely see her taken away and wear an orchid mask to attend the appointment.
As everyone knows, she walked out of the restaurant wearing an orchid mask, but it was just a blindfold.After walking far away, Qin Yu stood on top of the restaurant, unable to see the pattern of her mask on the front, she had already changed her ghost face.
"Clap clap-"
Nangong Xiao applauded, stood in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's really a wonderful show."
"Have you enjoyed yourselves, my lord?" Xie Qiao's gaze was like a knife, and he looked at Nangong Xiao sharply.
The smile in Nangong Xiao's eyes was even wider, and he seemed to be a little gloating. He pointed at Qin Yu's corpse and said, "You said, since she is dead, can your wedding be held as usual tomorrow?"
(End of this chapter)
Ivory, to Xie Qiao, is just an ordinary thing.
To Nangong Xiao, it has extraordinary significance!
She threw it on Qin Suan's carriage casually, and she just remembered it wrongly, obviously she didn't take it to heart.
Nangong Xiao's heart seemed to be sliced by a sharp knife, coldness and violence flashed in his eyes, and he endured it the next moment.
What can he do to her?
Can't do anything to her!
He only wanted to marry her into the mansion.
"I'll go get it back." Xie Qiao felt that the item had been given away, so it no longer belonged to her. Since the owner asked for it, it was natural to return it.
The smile on the corner of Nangong Xiao's mouth showed a trace of coldness, and the emotions in his eyes were mixed, she will take it?
How stupid is he?
Give her a chance to hang out with Qin Mo personally?
"No, I'll get it myself." Nangong Xiao couldn't bear that she didn't take him seriously, tapped his fingers on the table, saw Bai Zhi coming in with a food box from the window, and said with a smile in his eyes: " A few years ago, I took you to eat and drink, but I didn't keep my promise, and today I have a rare free time, so I will keep what I said back then."
"No need." Xie Qiao looked out the window, gesturing with his fingers.
The moment she moved her fingers, Nangong Xiao grabbed her hand with his big palm, pulled her up from the bed, and pushed her into the clean room, "Change clothes quickly." A corner outside the window.
Xie Qiao saw him walk out of the inner room, waited in the outer room, looked at the wedding dress on his body, and changed it.
"Miss, do you want your servant to inform the county king?" Bai Zhi stood uneasy at the door of the clean room, saw Xie Qiao come out, and said dissatisfiedly: "The prince of Daqing, who doesn't understand any rules, broke into your boudoir , when others see the gossip, the county king is afraid that there will be a misunderstanding."
Xie Qiao's eyes were cold, and he looked at her faintly: "You are the king of Guquan County."
Bai Zhi's face turned pale, and Xie Qiao's words clearly had another meaning, and she quickly said, "This servant is thinking of you."
Xie Qiao took a deep look at her, and returned to the outer room without saying a word.
"Okay?" Nangong Xiao looked at the new make-up, and asked considerately: "Where do you want to eat?"
"It's up to the owner." Xie Qiao can refuse him, but Nangong Xiao is a bad debt from the past, rejecting this time, and the next time, some things need to be explained clearly.
Nangong Xiao took her to the restaurant closest to Duke Fu's mansion, and ordered a table of Xie Qiao's favorite food.

Nangong Xiao frowned when he heard this, his face gradually turned cold, his eyes were as cold as a pool of cold.
"you like him?"
Nangong Xiao's eyes were gloomy and cold, and his hands on the table were clenched into fists.
"Don't even think about it! Except for this matter, this king will depend on you!" Nangong Xiao interrupted what she was about to say, "Whatever he can give you, this king can give, and what he can't give, I can also give!"
"you……"
"This king promises you, you are the only one in this life!"
Xie Qiao's heart trembled, as if it was stuck in his throat.How could she have made him obsessed so deeply that she was willing to do this step.
It is true that his proposal is the dream of many women, and it is also the yearning in her heart.
But, after all, he was not the man in her heart.
"My lord, a woman who is not what you want, I can't marry you, will you marry?" Xie Qiao's tone was very calm, his eyes as clear as cold springs stared into his eyes, and he didn't miss the slight change in his expression.Just now, he hesitated.
Obviously he understood what she meant, but he didn't know how to lie to himself, or speak according to his heart, and fell into the trap of her words.

Nangong Xiao's complexion changed suddenly, he stood up on the table, leaned over to her, stared at her coldly and said: "You hated Qin Mo at first, but you can accept him in the end, why can't I?"
"Because it was given to him." Xie Qiao pointed to his heart.
Nangong Xiao Rumo's eyes were full of violent wind and rain, he stared at her closely, and said word by word: "You always know what hurts the most."
Xie Qiao pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
Nangong Xiao sneered and said, "Even so, I won't let go!" After calming down his emotions, he picked up a piece of roasted venison with chopsticks and put it in Xie Qiao's bowl, and said kindly, "Try it."

Xie Qiao took a bite of the venison, and Nangong Xiaosheng gave her a bowl of purple ginseng and pheasant soup: "I'll take you home after eating."
Two people, each with their own thoughts, have the same taste.
In just a quarter of an hour, the two of them were half full.
Xie Qiao rinsed his mouth with tea.
Nangong Xiao raised his eyebrows and said: "Da Zhou eats free food, what will happen?"
Xie Qiao's complexion changed, and he said coldly, "You don't have to waste your time, even if you do it all over again, my heart will never change."
Nangong Xiao looked at her leaving back expressionlessly, the dark light in his eyes flashed away.He murmured: "Will it not change..."
-
After that farewell, Nangong Xiao didn't come to her for a long time.
But Yu Qinglan, who was going to leave Beijing, changed her mind and left after her wedding.
In the Chonghua building, Pinellia and Bai Zhi hurried in and out, and prepared glutinous rice and wild reed leaves according to Xie Qiao's instructions.
"It's strange, the horn millet uses millet, why did the lady prepare glutinous rice?" Bai Zhi asked in bewilderment.
"The master did as he ordered, why not?" Ban Xia lowered her head and placed the things on the table.
Xie Qiao is weaving long life strands, tying them and putting them in his purse.
Clean hands and cut the pinellia pork belly into pieces, marinate it, and prepare pine nuts, shrimps, walnuts, and red dates.
Bai Zhi was surprised and said: "Miss, can you add something to the horn millet? Isn't the taste strange?"
Xie Qiao said with a smile: "It's not strange, you will know after eating."
Zongzi are wrapped into triangles of the same size and put into boxes, eight in a box.
Bai Zhi picked up a meat dumpling, the wild rice leaves exude a fragrance, take a bite and taste it, the saltiness is suitable, the oil is not greasy.
"good to eat!"
Ban Xia and Lan Yu nodded repeatedly while eating rice dumplings.
Xie Qiao said with a smile: "Don't eat too much, send the food to these mansions."
Bai Zhi took the zongzi and four long-lived strands to the second room.
Lan Yu sent two boxes of zongzi and Chang Ming Ling to Prince Rong's residence, and gave them to Yu Qinglan and Lan Yang respectively.
"Miss, is there no delivery from the Prince's Mansion?" Ban Xia looked at a box of rice dumplings on the table, there were only six of them, one of each flavor.
Compared with other zongzi given away, there is an extra eight-treasure stuffing inside.
"No need." Xie Qiao's eyes fell on the courtyard, and he saw him coming against the light, his figure made more and more tall by the black robe.
Qin Mou's eyes fell on the longevity thread in her hand, and she raised her eyebrows, "Am I the last one?"
Xie Qiao had gentle eyebrows and a quiet smile, and tied the longevity thread on his arm for him. "My own, are you still so polite, arguing first?"
Qin Mo smiled and said, "It's not mine." He took out a sachet from his sleeve and tied it around her waist himself: "Mother prepared this."
Xie Qiao was stunned, her eyes fell on the sachet on her waist, the pattern embroidered on it was Ruyi pattern, and the smell of medicine made her eyes dim.
"Thank you, princess, for me." The smile on Xie Qiao's face faded.
"When the time comes when you offer her the bridal tea, thank her personally." Qin Mo opened the box, picked out a rice dumpling, took a bite, revealing half of the jujube filling, and said meaningfully: "Whether I can achieve my wish depends on the is you."
He spoke with ridicule, but Xie Qiao turned a deaf ear to it and stopped talking.
Qin Mo realized that her interest had faded, and her fingertips rested on the center of her frowning brows: "Is there something on your mind?"
Xie Qiao shook his head: "Tomorrow is the Fifth Festival, there is a dragon boat race. The emperor will take Concubine Shu out of the palace to watch. Do you want to accompany me?"
"Not this year."
Xie Qiao thought about it, perhaps because of the matter of the eldest princess, Emperor Ming was extremely suspicious, and he was afraid that he would not dare to entrust his life to Qin Mu for protection.
"Tomorrow I will watch the dragon boat race with you." Qin Mo said, "Have you seen it in previous years?"
"Never."
Qin Mo said pitifully, "I will accompany you to participate in every festival in the future."
"Okay!" Although Xie Qiao knew it was impossible, he didn't want to dampen his interest.
At this moment, Bai Zhi came in with a box of zongzi in her hand, glanced at Qin Mou, bit her lips and said in a low voice, "Miss, this is the horned millet sent by King Zhan."
"Reward for you." Qin Mo spoke for Xie Qiao.
Xie Qiao jokingly said, "You are becoming more and more invisible."
"Master, someone from the palace invites you into the palace." Lan Xing stood at the door and passed on a message.
"You go."
"I'll pick you up tomorrow." After saying that, Qin Mo left with the zongzi.
Until he was nowhere to be seen, Xie Qiao played with the sachet on his waist with his fingers, slightly hooked his lips, and said to Bai Zhi: "Ban Xia is here, let her come to see me."
-
The next day.
Xie Qiao was awakened by Pinellia early in the morning, dressed neatly, and finished his breakfast.
Someone from the Prince's Mansion came to report to Xie Qiao: "Miss Rong, the Prince is unable to come and pick you up in the palace today, you go by yourself and meet at Lengmei Pavilion on the third floor of Wangyue Tower."
"it is good."
Xie Qiao looked at the extremely festive mansion decorated with lights and festoons, his eyes flickered slightly, and it was the wedding day tomorrow.
Mrs. Liu did not agree with her leaving the mansion, but she heard that she had an appointment with the county king, so Mrs. Liu was silent for a moment before agreeing.
Xie Qiao and Liu Shi went out of the mansion together, instead of going to Moon Tower, they wandered the streets with Rong Shu.
"Look, there are people coming from the palace." Rong Shu pointed at the long line, and Jin Yiwei cleared his way, a few steps away from each other.
Xie Qiao watched the sale of facial makeup, and pulled Rong Shu over, holding a ghost face.
Rong Shu looked at the hideous ghost face in her hand, pointed at the orchid face and said, "This one suits you."
Xie Qiao took a look, put down the ghost mask in his hand, and said with an orchid face mask, "That's it." After paying, Xie Qiao and Rong Shu said, "I'm going to Wangyue Tower, do you want to go together?"
Rong Shu declined, "No, Second Master Qin invited me to watch the dragon boat race together."
The two parted ways.
Xiaoer led Xie Qiao to Lengmei Pavilion on the third floor, and unexpectedly saw Qin Yu inside.
Qin Yu's eyes fell on the sachet on Xie Qiao's waist, his eyes flickered slightly, and there were melon and fruit snacks on the table. "Sister Rong, please sit down."
Xie Qiao raised his eyebrows and sat down opposite her.
Qin Yu personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Xie Qiao: "My brother hasn't come yet, we'll wait for him here before we go down together."
Xie Qiao lowered his eyes to the wine glass, but didn't drink it.
Qin Yu covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Sister Rong is afraid that I will poison you?" After finishing speaking, he drank Xie Qiao's glass of wine, and held up the empty glass to give Xie Qiao a look: "I did a lot of stupid things in the past. Now that I know my mistake, I hope that sister Rong will not be as knowledgeable as me."
Xie Qiao's eyes flickered slightly, and he drank the wine she handed over, and poured a glass for her: "We are about to become a family, and all the past will disappear."
The smile on Qin Yu's face deepened, and he said guiltily: "I misunderstood my brother before and hurt him a lot just now, and I will never do it again in the future."
Xie Qiao was playing with the wine glass in his hand, brushing the rim of the glass slightly with his fingers, the silver needles on his fingertips were stained with black, and a bone-chilling coldness flashed in his eyes.
"big sister?"
Rong Shu's voice came from outside the private room, Xie Qiao stood up, his figure swaying slightly.He reached out to support the table, rubbed his forehead, and signaled Ban Xia to open the door.
The moment Rong Shu saw Xie Qiao, she breathed a sigh of relief.After she heard that Qin Yu was in the private room, she couldn't help being worried.
"Big sister, can you accompany me to find Qin Yin?" Rong Shu glanced at Qin Yu who was always smiling. The smile on her face made people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xie Qiao was about to refuse.
Ban Xia said: "Miss, the King of War invited you to meet me on the boat yesterday." He picked up the orchid mask that was placed beside him and said, "Let you take this with you."
Xie Qiao took the mask and said to Qin Yu apologetically, "Princess, I'm afraid I'm going to be excused."
Qin Yu looked away from the orchid mask in her hand, and said understandingly: "It's okay, brother is here, so I'll tell you that you and Younger Sister Rong went to find your cousin together."
Xie Qiao took out a sachet from his sleeve, tied it around her waist and said, "I'm not good at sewing, so don't dislike me."
Qin Yu looked at the sachet on his waist, and said with a happy face: "This is the first sachet I received on the Fifth Festival." After finishing speaking, he urged: "Go quickly, don't let the king of war take it for a long time." waited."
Xie Qiao followed Rong Shu out of the private room, all the smiles on his face were suppressed.
"Why is she here?" Rong Shu knew that Qin Yu was full of bad taste, and Qin Mo also knew about his sister, so how could Xie Qiao and Qin Yu be arranged together?
"It would be surprising if she wasn't here." Xie Qiao took a meaningful look at the closed private room, and went downstairs wearing an orchid mask to the pier where the boat was parked.
On the street where people come and go, suddenly, a group of people with ghost faces on their faces, holding sharpened bamboo sticks in their hands, swallowing flames from their mouths, inserting knives in their mouths, and pulling them out again, performing acrobatics.
One of them was a tall and burly man with a hideous ghostly face. He conjured a sack out of nowhere and surrounded a young man in civilian clothes. He put the sack under his head and uncovered it the next moment. The clothes on his body Transformed into a satin brocade robe.
Everyone exclaimed and applauded like thunder.
Suddenly, a few people separated, surrounded Xie Qiao and walked towards the alley.
Qin Yu, who was standing in the moon-watching tower, watched the face in Xie Qiao's hand fall to the ground in the crowd, his hands and feet were weak and unable to break away from the siege of several people, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Picking up the orchid mask bought by Madam Liu, she put it on, walked out of the restaurant, and went to the pier.
The juggler walked up to Qin Yu, and suddenly whistled, making strange noises.Two people rushed out of them and surrounded her.
Seeing this, the people behind surrounded her and walked towards the corner of the narrow alley.
Qin Yu was shocked, and instantly remembered that it must be the mask on his face!
"It's me! Let go!" Qin Yu shouted anxiously, reaching out to remove the mask, but someone grabbed her hand tightly.
Frightened, she ordered them to surround the woman with the orchid mask and the sachet around her waist.They clearly besieged Xie Qiao, why did they come to besiege her?
Suddenly, she stepped on Xie Qiao's mask that had been squeezed out, revealing a ferocious ghostly face, and was startled in her heart.
She's hit!
Fall into your own trap!
She wears an orchid mask and a sachet tied by Xie Qiao around her waist!
"Wrong! You made a mistake!" Qin Yu hissed, Xie Qiao had a ghostly face, why was he surrounded by people?This question has been bothering her, and no one explained it to her.
Noisy noise, everyone ignored her call.
It was dark before her eyes, and she was caught in a sack.
"Help! Help—" Qin Yu struggled desperately.
The people onlookers had experienced the previous scene, and they all applauded, thinking that they were going to do tricks again.
Qin Yu's heart sank when he heard the booing.
The big men with ghost faces moved sharpened bamboo sticks up and down in their hands, surrounded Qin Yu in a circle, and danced a ghost dance around her a few times.Suddenly, with the pointed end pointing down, it plunged towards the sack.
Seeing this scene, the common people thought it was a new trick, and they all shouted: "Zha! Hurry up!"
The big men all plunged down, Qin Yu shivered in pain all over his body, and put his head in his hands.He shouted desperately: "Wrong, wrong catch! Help, help—"
Her voice was drowned out.
For a moment, the sack was stained red by the oozing blood.
After an unknown amount of time, the big men threw down the sacks, held blood-stained bamboo sticks, and walked away with fire in their mouths.
"Hey, look, the blood on the ground is as real as it is!" said one of the crowd.
"Really! Let's see what they changed this time."
Several young people stepped forward, opened the sack, their faces turned pale with fright, and they fell to the ground, "Dead...dead!"
Qin Yu's whole body was stained with blood, and his body was full of holes from the stabbing. His eyes were wide open, and his complexion was grim due to pain, which was extremely creepy.
The crowd broke out into a scream and scattered.
Nangong Xiao, who was standing by the window on the second floor of Wangyue Building, thought deeply in his cold eyes. After a long while, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he walked downstairs slowly, heading in one direction.
Xie Qiao, who was about to be stabbed to death, came out from a hidden alley, followed by several men in black holding ghost masks.
Looking at Qin Yu who was lying in a pool of blood, Xie Qiao's eyes were like ice and snow. As early as when Qin Sui gave her the sachet from the eldest princess, she realized that something was wrong. The medicine in the sachet was not poison, but just a few drops. Mixed together, it will make people dizzy and weak in limbs.
Early this morning, when the county palace sent someone to notify her, Xie Qiao knew that there was indeed a problem.
If Qin Mo couldn't come due to something, he would definitely ask Lan Xing to notify him, and he would never send anyone else in the mansion.
And re-embroider Pinellia a sachet that is exactly the same as the one embroidered by the eldest princess, and wear it on her body to let the other party know that she has 'entered'.
Sure enough, Qin Yu was waiting in the moon-watching tower, and seeing the sachet on her waist, he was still worried, and added spices to the wine.
So, she will count on it.
The hidden guard found out about Qin Yu's plan, and she ordered her people to mix in, and when they saw the man with the ghost mask in his hand, they took her away.
And Qin Yu, who wanted to marry King Zhan, heard that she had an appointment with King Zhan, and would definitely see her taken away and wear an orchid mask to attend the appointment.
As everyone knows, she walked out of the restaurant wearing an orchid mask, but it was just a blindfold.After walking far away, Qin Yu stood on top of the restaurant, unable to see the pattern of her mask on the front, she had already changed her ghost face.
"Clap clap-"
Nangong Xiao applauded, stood in front of her, and said with a smile: "It's really a wonderful show."
"Have you enjoyed yourselves, my lord?" Xie Qiao's gaze was like a knife, and he looked at Nangong Xiao sharply.
The smile in Nangong Xiao's eyes was even wider, and he seemed to be a little gloating. He pointed at Qin Yu's corpse and said, "You said, since she is dead, can your wedding be held as usual tomorrow?"
