Luo Junyao took Luo Mingxiang to an empty pavilion at the back of the garden. Bamboo curtains were hung around the pavilion. Although there was no one inside, a brazier was still placed, and snacks and fresh fruits were placed on the table.
Seeing the two people coming in, the attendants waiting nearby immediately came forward to serve them hot tea.
Luo Junyao waved away the attendant, then pulled Luo Mingxiang to sit down and whispered: "Sister Mingxiang, what do you want to tell me?"
Luo Mingxiang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and put something in Luo Junyao's hand.
Luo Junyao was stunned, and found that what Luo Mingxiang put in her hand was a handkerchief, but there was something wrapped inside the handkerchief. The handkerchief was also stained with some dark red, and Luo Junyao could tell with just one glance that it was obviously
It's blood.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes and raised his hand to open the veil.
There was indeed something inside, which was a hidden weapon made of black iron. Luo Junyao had never seen such a hidden weapon before, and the patterns on the hidden weapon did not seem to be from the Central Plains - at least not from the Shangyong area.
"Sister? This is..." Luo Junyao's expression changed slightly, "Are you in any danger?"
Luo Mingxiang quickly grabbed her, looked around before lowering his voice and said: "No, it's... I'm in the village outside the city, and there's a person... who should be the person the regent wants to arrest."
Seeing that Luo Mingxiang looked a little strange, Luo Junyao was stunned for a moment before he realized, "You mean... Qu Tiange? He's the one who arrested you last time?" We can't really rely on the portrait skills these days, let alone actually meet Qu Tiange.
There are very few people who sing songs. Apart from Qu Tiange, who else can Luo Mingxiang identify as a wanted criminal?
Luo Mingxiang nodded.
Luo Jun stood up suddenly and said, "Why did he come to your village?"
Luo Mingxiang said: "I went there a few days ago to check Zhuangzi's harvest and accounts this year, so as not to go back and work around at the end of the year. It happened to snow at that time, and I was worried that the snow would be heavy, so I wanted to come back first. Who wanted to leave when I was about to leave?
That person...that person broke into my room."
Qu Tiange had obviously frightened her a lot. His face was still a little pale and his hands were trembling as he spoke.
"He was covered in blood at the time, and I didn't recognize him. I wanted to call someone, but he treated him," Luo Mingxiang said in a low voice.
She didn't need to tell Luo Junyao to understand. How could Luo Mingxiang, a weak woman with no strength, be Qu Tiange's opponent?
Even though he had been seriously injured for many days, it was still easy to capture Luo Mingxiang.
What's more, a strange man appeared in Luo Mingxiang's room. If word spread, I'm afraid it would be another incident.
Luo Junyao reached out and held Luo Mingxiang's hand, patted it gently, "Sister, it's okay, don't be afraid."
Luo Mingxiang nodded and continued: "He only asked me to call Delphinium in, help him get water and medicine, and treat the wound. After he washed his face, I found out that he was... that person. He refused
Let me go, and I can only live in the village for the past two days. I only told my family that checking the accounts has delayed my time. It is too late and the roads are slippery and snowy. I originally wanted Delphinium to try to go out to deliver the message, but he was
Found it."
Luo Junyao said: "Then how did you come out today?"
Luo Mingxiang said: "The servants at home sent the post to Zhuangzi. I told him that this flower party is very important. If I don't come, people will see that something is wrong. Even if I claim to be sick, my mother and you will definitely
He was also worried that he would come over to see me, so he let me out."
Qu Tiange obviously didn't understand these things among Shangyong's powerful people, so naturally he couldn't judge whether this flower party was important or not.
But Qu Tiange didn't say anything when she left. Maybe he knew that she didn't dare to make a big deal about it, or maybe he left after she went out and was not afraid of her telling others.
Luo Junyao frowned in thought, shook his head and said: "No, how could he just happen to break into your village? And he happened to enter your room? Sister, how is his injury?"
Luo Mingxiang hesitated for a moment and then said: "It seems... quite serious. He had a high fever the first night. Delphinium said... there was a hole in his chest and it was bloody."
Even though Qu Tiange had a high fever and was almost in a coma, she still didn't dare to escape. Qu Tiange's methods were really beyond the ability of an ordinary woman in her boudoir. He just touched her lightly in the air and she couldn't move.
She was being held as a hostage, and Delphinium, who was ordered to do this and that, naturally did not dare to act rashly.
Thinking of this, Luo Mingxiang couldn't help but his eyes turned red.
Although nothing happened and Qu Tiange didn't mean to treat her lightly, Luo Mingxiang encountered such things one after another. Sometimes when she was alone, Luo Mingxiang couldn't help crying just thinking about it. She even dreamed that her husband's family caught up on this matter, and she couldn't explain it at all.
appearance.
Luo Junyao also knew how heavy the shadow Qu Tiange had brought to her, so she put her arms around Luo Mingxiang and said, "Sister Mingxiang, don't be afraid, I will solve it."
Luo Mingxiang quickly wiped away her tears and whispered: "I made you laugh. I don't know who else to tell, mother..."
My mother was a weak woman like her, and she really didn't want her to worry. If she told her father or two brothers, she couldn't open her mouth.
"It doesn't matter, I won't tell my parents." Luo Jun said, "No one will know about this."
After that, Luo Junyao summoned Feng Jian, handed her the veil containing the hidden weapon, and told her to go back to find Xie Yan. He also solemnly told Xie Yan to be careful when passing by, and his whereabouts must not be exposed.
Let people know that he has been there.
Fengjian nodded cautiously, took the things and put them away before taking Qin Yao'er with him.
When they were gone, Luo Mingxiang frowned and said, "Could he have escaped?"
Luo Junyao said: "I don't think so. Qu Tiange is not a random person, and I'm afraid he may not be easy to fool." He let Luo Mingxiang out, and it was not necessarily because he was deceived by Luo Mingxiang's reasons. His master was still in the hands of the court.
Here, if Qu Tiange wants to save Qu Fang but doesn't want to be restrained by Xie Yan, the most likely way is to hold Luo Mingxiang hostage and use the opportunity to blackmail him.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Since he let Luo Mingxiang leave, he either did not intend to save the master and really ran away, or he was waiting for someone to catch him.
As for why he didn't show up on his own... we have to ask Qu Tiange himself.
Luo Junyao turned around and asked, "Sister, you've been living outside the city for two days, and your brother-in-law hasn't visited you yet?" She remembered that just now, her eldest sister said that a servant in the family would send the post out. The newlywed wife was trapped in the snow.
He was not worried about being outside the city for two days. Why didn't he go out to pick up someone?
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "He is preparing for Spring Festival. He heard that the people who will take the exam next year are very good, so he is also a little anxious."
Although Xu Zhaolin is the eldest son of Chun'an Bo, the Xu family will not be an earl when he inherits the title in the future. If you want power in Shangyong, you have to take the imperial examination or go to the battlefield. As one of the seven elites of the imperial city, Xu Zhaolin naturally wants to
Participating in the imperial examination.
Luo Junyao nodded, "So that's it. Sister, don't worry. As long as you keep your mouth shut, this matter will never get out."
Luo Mingxiang also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, only Delphinium knows about me."
Luo Junyao knew that Delphinium had followed Luo Mingxiang since he was a child and was the most loyal, so he nodded with confidence.
Not far away, Mrs. Su and Princess Chang Zhao walked over, followed by Zhang Jingyu. Before the three of them came in, the two people in the pavilion immediately stood up to greet them, "I have met Princess Chang Zhao, I have met Mr. Zhang,
Mother." Luo Mingxiang said respectfully.
"Sister Changzhao, mother, Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"
Princess Changzhao smiled and said: "What are you talking about? You two sisters went to see your mother first without seeing anyone, and in the blink of an eye she disappeared. It's about to start over there, so why don't we come over here to look for someone?"
Luo Junyao said with a smile: "My eldest sister and I have something to say, so I went over to say hello to my mother for being late and ask her for your forgiveness."
Su Shi naturally didn't mind and shook her head with a smile.
Princess Chang Zhao looked at Luo Mingxiang and couldn't help but frowned and said, "What's wrong, big lady? But which servant with no eyes rushed into you?" Princess Chang Zhao obviously saw Luo Mingxiang's reddish eyes.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said, "It made the princess laugh. It was windy outside just now, and Xue Mo accidentally swept his eyes."
"You have to be careful."
Seeing that Su was still looking at him, Luo Mingxiang quickly went over to hold her arm and said with a smile: "Mom, it's really okay. If something really happened, how could I not tell you?"
Mrs. Su smiled and nodded her forehead and said, "I think you are more willing to talk to Yaoyao now."
Zhang Jingyu, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "That's very good. It shows that they have a good relationship as sisters."
Luo Junyao also smiled and added: "Mr. Zhang is right, my eldest sister and I have a good relationship, but my mother is jealous?"
After listening to her words, everyone laughed again.
As they spoke, everyone turned around and left the pavilion, heading towards Tingfengxuan.
Since the banquet was about to begin, they naturally had to go.
It's just that this kind of banquet, which has neither singing, dancing, nor meat and wine, is really something that people can't look forward to.
