It's already chilly in late October in autumn. The sun is shining brightly during the day, but the wind blows at night, adding to the chill.
The fragrant soup was ready, and Song Qinghuan was sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her hairpin rings. When she saw Taxue and Xunmei reluctantly sticking their heads out to see what was going on at the gate of Qianyunju, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Go and take down the lanterns outside the courtyard. Don't bring shame on yourself."
Texue shrugged, glanced at Song Qinghuan, and said with relief, "Don't be impatient, girl. Maybe the prince has something to do and is delayed."
Song Qinghuan remained silent, but he knew very well in his heart that as for Xiao Wei, even if he walked to his door, he wouldn't even bother to take a second look, so how could he come here?
Song Qinghuan knew that the Yi Wang Xiao Wei was a scumbag before she married into the Yi Wang Palace. But the marriage was decided by an imperial edict in the early years and it was difficult to retreat. Since she couldn't resist the decree, it was better to go to the Yi Wang Palace as the Yi Wang Concubine.
Just eat and drink together, spend the rest of your life secretly, and save the Song family money in rice and grain.
But no one expected that three days ago, the Yiwang Palace welcomed her in a sedan chair, and Xiao Wei also welcomed Yao Yuechan, the second daughter of the Minister of Industry's family.
For a time, she became the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto.
Not to mention that Xiao Wei has never been to her since she entered the gate of the Yiwang Mansion. He has gone back alone three times today.
The little maids were aggrieved for her, but Song Qinghuan was happy to see the result and wished that Xiao Wei would never appear in front of her for the rest of her life.
After removing her hair, she tied it with a hairpin and went to the bathroom. She took off her gorgeous clothes and soaked her whole body in the fragrant soup.
Tuxue Xunmei knew that she didn't like it, so he didn't serve her. He only reluctantly took down the red lantern hanging outside the courtyard, and then retreated to the wing to keep watch.
Maybe the weather is going to change. The wind is blowing very hard tonight. There is a constant rustling of branches in the courtyard, and soon you can hear the sound of windows and coffins being blown open.
With mist rising in front of his eyes, Song Qinghuan leaned on the edge of the tub, eyes closed, and hummed a little tune happily.
Happiness came too suddenly. She was an orphan who had been wandering around with her crippled master for more than ten years and was deceived by relying on half-baked medical and poisonous skills. She suddenly woke up a month ago and became the legitimate daughter of the Qibei Houfu.
People are excited.
He has a grandmother, a father, a mother, younger brothers and sisters, and a well-known husband.
Although the Hou Mansion was defeated, this husband was not doing well.
But compared to the precarious days before, it is simply as beautiful as heaven.
The fragrant soup soaked into her neck, with bright red petals still stuck to it. Song Qinghuan sighed in comfort, and when she raised her eyebrows, she was frightened by the sight in front of her.
I saw a large living person standing less than half a meter in front of me. He was tall and could be identified as a man. He was tightly wrapped in black clothes. Except for a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, not even a hair could be seen.
His eyes were bottomless and deep, and the blood-stained dagger in his hand was terrifying.
There was insufficient light in the bathroom, so I couldn't see clearly, but I heard that the man's breath was unstable and he seemed to be injured.
But, when did this person come in? Why was there no sound at all?
Even though Song Qinghuan had seen a lot of things in the world in his early years, the fact that such a big living person was standing here quietly made his heart skip a beat.
The two people looked at each other, opened their mouths, and asked the man to cover his mouth tightly. He swallowed the words that came to his mouth and slapped the tub with both hands. He was afraid that this man was a very vicious person and could not do anything.
It's better to take this worthless dog's life.
Xiao Ci also didn't expect that he would encounter a girl taking a bath while escaping for his life. If it weren't for the urgent situation at this moment, he would have sighed that he was so lucky.
Pity...
There was a lot of movement in the house. Walking through the snow in search of plum blossoms, he came out of the ear room and knocked on the door: "Miss?"
"Don't shout, you can choose one for robbery of wealth or sex." Xiao Ci didn't want to do anything, so he lowered his voice to scare her, and then he let go when Song Qinghuan calmed down obediently.
"It's okay, I just almost fell asleep. There's no need to come in and wait." Song Qinghuan took a big breath and retracted his whole body into the water. The bright red petals covered the scenery on his body tightly, and his pink and white face was stained with the blood on his hands. , with a slight fishy smell, extremely embarrassing.
Walking in the snow in search of plum blossoms, I didn’t think much about it, and when I heard the sound, I left with peace of mind.
Song Qinghuan's thoughts were racing, what the hell, didn't he say that the Yiwang Mansion was heavily guarded?
But after all, he grew up among the people and didn't learn anything else, but he is very thick-skinned.
There was poison in his eyes, and he smiled with a grin: "My hero, look at me, I haven't even grown up yet. I don't have much sex, let alone wealth. There are not many furnishings in this room." valuable."
After a pause, he said unkindly: "Go out from here to the Yiyan Pavilion in the east. The master there is very important. He must have a good figure, good looks, and most importantly, a lot of money. Hero, think about it?"
Xiao Ci's originally tense expression began to show cracks. Seeing her disappearing more and more as she talked, he couldn't help but laugh and reached out to knock her on the head: "That's nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, and soon it was replaced by a rapid knock on the door, which was also mixed with the undoubted anger of Xiao Wei, the king of Yi.
"Fence the yard too, and don't let a fly escape."
Before Song Qinghuan could cry out in pain, he called out to the voice outside, which made him tremble with fear: "My hero, if we are caught, do we think we are cheating?"
...
Xiao Wei's expression was solemn, his hands were clasped behind his back, and he looked at Qian Yunju with deep and heavy eyes, a cold look on his lips.
The woman who was guarding the door opened the door very quickly. She walked out of the ear room and saw the menacing visitor. She felt an indescribable feeling.
When a girl married into the prince's palace, they were expecting their uncle to come, but what they expected was not like this.
As soon as the courtyard door opened, a group of cheering people rushed into the courtyard. Xiao Wei strode in expressionlessly, followed by Yao Yuechan who was carried in the door on the same day as Song Qinghuan.
Yao Yuechan was born delicate and frail. At this time, she had an anxious look on her face. She chased after Xiao Wei and kept trying to persuade her: "Your Majesty, how can you make such a big deal about something without evidence? Wouldn't it ruin my sister's reputation..."
Song Qinghuan was still bathing in the house. With so many people barging in, even the innocent ones were no longer innocent. Texue bravely stepped forward to stop her. Before he could say anything, he called someone else to come in. The unfamiliar woman came in. Zi slapped him in the face, and then dragged him over with force.
Xiao Wei raised his legs and entered the room, and Song Qinghuan put on clothes and came out of the bathroom. Her fair face was dyed a bit of rouge by the moisture, her hair was half-dried hanging in front of her body, and her eyes were clear and clear without any trace of guilt.
The dog-legged look just now has long since disappeared, replaced by something a bit cold.
Her marriage to Xiao Wei was arranged for her by the original owner's maternal grandfather, Yun Ruhai, many years ago. However, due to Xiao Wei's inexplicable disgust, it was not until she was nineteen that she reluctantly got married, even on the wedding day. Forget about humiliating her.
Song Qinghuan didn't seem to think highly of Xiao Wei, so he twitched his face, looked at Xiao Wei's sharp face, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, why are you making such a fuss in the middle of the night?"
Xiao Wei gave Song Qinghuan an expressionless look. Even though the woman in front of him was quite pretty, he couldn't feel any sympathy for her. He said coldly: "There is a thief in the house. I am conducting a routine search."
There's a thief in the house, why not just search her Qianyun residence?
Song Qinghuan smiled contemptuously: "Since a thief has entered, you should do a search."
Yao Yuechan stared at Song Qinghuan for a long time. At first, she thought she was just faking it, but now she was letting people search her so generously, and she couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.
Biting her lip, she pulled Xiao Wei's sleeve and advised in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, if you can't search her, your sister's reputation will be ruined."
He added: "You are blind, maybe Rushuang is mistaken."
As he spoke, he frowned at the little maid behind him whose name was Rushuang.
Rushuang immediately stepped forward and knelt down, with a look of innocence on his face, and responded according to his master's wishes: "I saw a figure, but it was dark at that time, so I really didn't see clearly. Maybe I saw something wrong."
I can’t say for sure."
The master and the servants set up their own stage to sing a good show. On the surface, they were trying to excuse Song Qinghuan, but if they couldn't find it in the yard, wouldn't it mean there was something fishy?
Song Qinghuan glanced at the master and servant once and cursed secretly in his heart.
But he said: "Since I didn't see clearly, I should have searched more. If I just passed by like this, wouldn't I be pouring sewage on me in vain?"
Xiao Wei then raised his eyes to look at Song Qinghuan, looked him up and down, then looked back, waved his hand, and said politely: "Search..."
The guards who followed got the order and immediately dispersed, not sparing any part of the wing room, the wing room, the back room, or the back room.
Song Qinghuan was calculating the time in his mind. Seeing this battle, he was still a little panicked. There was a cold light in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and stopped the few people who were going to the inner room. He looked at Xiao Wei fearlessly and spoke in a tone of voice.
He said coldly: "Your Majesty, the purpose of searching the yard is to prove innocence, but let's talk dirty first."
"If the person is really found, I will bear the blame, but if the person is not found, shouldn't the person who dared to open and close his mouth to throw dirty water also receive a lesson?"
Xiao Wei glanced sideways, and saw that she stepped back unconsciously, frowning slightly. She was just a maid, so he didn't take it to heart, but when his eyes touched Yao Yuechan's face, the look on Song Qinghuan's face became even more intense.
