Chapter 51: Peach Blossoms with Human Faces (8)

Snow began to fall outside the house again, fluttering, reflecting the white light inside the house.

The bluish-white color fell into the little girl's eyes, causing ripples in the dark night. Her eyes became bigger and bigger. Feng Qiao was so frightened that she stepped back. She didn't know why she was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid of these enchanting eyes.

"I - I'm not lying to you, I'm really imagining it." Her

tone was panicked. She was someone who could kill people and set fire without moving.

Linglong said, her heart was focused on this matter, and she didn't care about the panic of the person opposite. After thinking about it for a while, she asked: "Guard Feng, have you told the princess?" "Not yet." Not only did she not, but she said

it

. I didn't see it at all, I'm just lying.

She instinctively concealed it for her, and once the secret guard's natural sensitivity came into play, he realized that this matter was unusual and that speaking out would cause trouble for the little girl opposite.

But why she hid it from others, she was also confused.

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Sudi smiled and leaned forward, asking innocently: "I would have been eager to reveal such an important clue. Not only would I have revealed the suspicious clues immediately, Arrest them."

Yes, the logic is clear and very reasonable.

It's a pity that not only did she not do it, she didn't even think about it, but she foolishly came here in the middle of the night and was questioned by the other party.

Feng Qiao was silent, and lowered her eyes in embarrassment. As soon as her eyes fell, she saw that the other party was only wearing a dark red robe, which was winding and circling, covering her snow-white skin. It was so white. Her body and face were completely different colors, so clean that you could see to cyan vessels.

Her eyesight in the dark night was also very good, and the heavy snow reflected the bright light in the house, but she was wearing very little clothing, so there was no need to dress like this when sleeping. As a secret guard, she always needed to be vigilant. She was always neatly dressed, but not just Wear some underwear and lie down.

Feng raised his hand and lifted up the quilt to wrap around the person in front of him. He cleared his throat and said, "It's too cold. Go to bed early. Since it's not you, let's talk about it later." Linglong's beautiful head tilted and she looked at Guard Feng wrapping herself around him

. She turned into a rice dumpling, wondering how thoughtful she was. The wind blew outside the window, for fear that she would freeze.

Moreover, the other party believes everything he says, and he looks easy to deceive.

The little girl smiled, very happy, "Okay, don't think too much about it, it's definitely not me anyway. By the way, are you injured?" Feng Qiao shook his head, "Fortunately, it's okay to be slapped.

"

"Hit me!" He shouted excitedly and reached out to touch. His slender fingertips wandered to his shoulders and slid down without any hesitation. "Where is the slap? Quickly take off your clothes and let me see." Feng Qiao almost missed it

. His soul flew away, but the other party, who was still young and still in his prime, actually turned his head on her with a pale face. He quickly pushed away and said seriously, "Miss Linglong, I said it's okay." The little girl was stunned. She really didn't know what was going on. She didn't care

. She.

He pursed his lips and snorted, then got back under the quilt, and said in a neutral tone: "I know, thank you for not dragging me in. If you feel pain in the wound in the future, remember to come to me. Those imperial doctors of yours are all from the imperial court." It's useless to put it on display."

Feng Qiao said in a loud but cute tone.

After a while, he said again: "If you can remember anything, girl, please tell me. For example, have you ever met someone who looks like you, or have you been mistaken for someone, or have you been separated from a sister—" "Yes, yes." Linglong yawned

, He was so sleepy that he burst into tears, "I'll look for you when I remember."

After saying that, he flopped down on the couch, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Feng Qiao opened her mouth, "Girl, you-"

"What? There's something else." She was already drowsy.

"Oh, no - it's not a big deal."

"It's not a big deal, there's a difference in size!"

Linglong raised one eye and saw that the other party was already standing by the couch. The ivory yellow curtains rippled softly through the light gauze. Swinging, all you can see is her tall and graceful figure, standing like a laurel tree in the moonlight.

Feng Wei is indeed very good-looking.

"Miss Linglong, it's so cold at night, so you'd better wear more clothes to sleep in."

Before she could answer, Teng disappeared again.

Who wears a lot of clothes when sleeping, standing upright? Guard Feng is really strange, no matter how good-looking he is, he is so heartless.

It was windy and snowy in the second half of the night, and it seemed like people were whimpering and crying non-stop.

Linglong woke up again after sleeping for a while, tossing and turning, then simply sat up, her sweet dream was disturbed, she yawned and her eyes turned blue.

She thought about it for a moment, put on her clothes, put on her silver cloak, opened the window and scanned the surroundings to make sure there was no one around her. She walked out of the house quietly, jumped into the air, and the white color blended into the heavy snow, and disappeared between the sky and the earth in an instant.

In the south of Kyoto, a carved building stands at the corner of the city wall. The top of the single-story double-eaves mountain is half covered by heavy snow, only the flying dragon wandering on the main ridge is exposed.

There was a strong wind and snow, and there was no one behind or behind him. However, a silver figure fell down and strolled into the building. The little eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Girl, please come inside quickly. It's snowing so heavily today. Don't freeze." Linglong said nothing and spoke directly.

When they reached the inner room on the second floor, the little eunuch didn't dare to follow him, so he turned around and went back downstairs.

The incense burner is burning in the room, and there is a scent of incense. Two or three candles are flickering. There is a person lying on a rocking chair with a red sandalwood twig pattern. His eyebrows are picturesque, and his facial features seem to be traced on white paper. He is covered with a fox fur blanket. .

She didn't open her eyes when she heard the noise, and opened her lips slightly, "Coming here at night, in this kind of weather, it's life-threatening."

Linglong took off her cloak, stretched out her hand on the smoker to warm it, nonchalantly, "You asked me, and you didn't even think about what you were doing. Just do it. Why are you pretending to be me? I'm not afraid of others coming to trouble me."

The person on the chair pursed his lips and smiled, "Who can cause trouble for you? That little guard, I think she is very fond of you. I probably can't bear to part with my heart."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm a serious person." Poutui came over and sat on the spring stool next to him, "Anyway, no matter what you do in the future, don't use my appearance." "Little girl, how dare

you Talk to me like this, have you ever seen a sister who has such a bad attitude towards her sister?" He stood up on one foot, stopped in the rocking chair, turned over, and frowned, "We are sisters, we already look alike, who can pretend? Who?"

Linglong shook her head, covered her mouth and said happily, "Sister, don't forget, we used to look alike, but then we changed our faces, we lost sight of each other a long time ago, and you even changed your name, what is your name Chenghuan? , and you're still wearing an inexplicable eunuch uniform, it's so ugly."

"Alas—" the person opposite sighed, "You little thing can't grow up, and you've reached this stage today. Could it be that I'm willing to do it? Don't make a fuss. That's awesome. You have to remember the reason why we came here."

Linglong turned around to pick up the wisteria cake on the table and ate it while yawning, "Don't worry about me anymore. You should be more careful yourself. By the way, why did you catch a cold last night and turn around? Let me take a guess. It must be related to the tenth princess's marriage, right?"

Cheng Huan nodded.

"Is that the order of His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"No, it's my own wish." He sat up, reached out to brush away the fallen snow from the little girl's hair, and said distressedly: "In the future, don't go out at night for anything serious, especially if you shave. It's windy or rainy, don't freeze."

Don't freeze - someone kept saying this to me tonight. Linglong found it interesting and put her arms around her sister's shoulders, sweet and coquettish, "I miss my sister, for my sister's sake. You can go out in any weather."

She knew that she was sweet-mouthed, but she didn't say invitations casually. She must be asking for help from others.

Cheng Huan pinched her chin, shook it a little bit, and said, "I just say coaxing words casually. Just now, I was asking for punishment. It was so fierce! You only care about the guard, and you don't worry about whether my sister is injured. First of all, Su Nichen, there is another Fengqiao coming from behind. Collect your snacks and don't forget how your mother died?"

The little girl's face sank and she jumped up and down, "Who said that after your mother dies, you have to see people while you are still alive, and you have to see her body after you die. , I don't believe she's dead!"

She was so angry that her sister had been like this since she was a child and never believed that her mother was gone. Cheng Huan hurriedly came to coax her, "Yes, yes, she is definitely still alive, but I don't know where she is. Can we continue to look for her?"

Linglong calmed down and bit her lip to remain silent.

Cheng Huan stood up and took the cloak, put it on the incense burner to dispel the cold air, then put it on her body, tightened the collar, "Go back, don't interfere in this matter, if something goes wrong, just come to me, sister can help." Little

girl He hummed, still curious, "Why did sister want to interfere in the tenth princess's marriage?"

Cheng Huan lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Of course I have my own plans. In short, we have traveled thousands of miles to come here, not to see Chu Yue's national power. You must remember that you and I are both foreigners."

Linglong looked at the other party's serious look and seemed to understand. The little girl couldn't hide her words in her heart and whispered, "Chu Yue, Fanzi, are not all foreigners. Humans have one head and two eyes. They use their mouth to speak and their ears to hear. They can't live without food. They will die of thirst without water. They have to fight to the death." A thin voice drifted to Cheng Huan's ears, and she deliberately ignored it

.

Linglong has been following Su Nichen for too long, has been getting along with Chu Yue people day and night, and has been loved and loved. It is inevitable that she will think this way, but in fact she is not the same.

But some things are decided from birth and cannot be changed.

Their whole family was spies raised by Fanzi, and their mother was the most famous. As a top Qianyuan man, she sneaked into Chuyue very early and made great contributions during the war between the two countries. However, she suddenly disappeared later and rumors spread.

Some say that she was discovered by the emperor of Chu Yue and she was executed directly. Another rumor is that she was not dead but actually put under house arrest by the other party. There is also another Qili version that she fell in love with someone and eloped together.

There are different opinions, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

If it weren't for the purpose of finding out the reason, the two sisters would not have been inserted in since they were young. One was hiding from others in the palace, and the other went directly to the Su family.

"No matter what, I will not do anything to disgrace the general." Linglong tightened her cloak and stood at the door, vowing, "It's okay to find my mother, I don't care about anything else." After that, she turned and left

.

The snow was getting heavier. Cheng Huan opened the window and faced the blizzard blowing all over the house. He sighed and saw the little girl covered in wind and snow slowly disappearing from sight and closed her eyes again.

Silly girl, she doesn't know she's been poisoned. As a spy, she can't get rid of it easily.

The royal family and Yushitai got married. On the day of the wedding, Gong Yifei, the consort, was nowhere to be found. The government and the public were in a commotion. There were treacherous villains who secretly watched the jokes, moral people who cursed the declining world, and some who kept their mouths shut. The emperor was furious and caused a great uproar among the wall faction.

The Privy Council, the Imperial City Department, and even the Forbidden Army all mobilized to search the city for three days, but still no one was found.

The rumors are even more outrageous. Some prostitutes were killed, and some went crazy and hanged themselves. It is also said that the Gong family has been in charge of the Yushitai for generations and has been responsible for many unjust cases. This is a ghost seeking life. As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid. The ghost is knocking on the door.

In short, this marriage will definitely not work out. Even if they find someone, the Gong family will have no shame to mention it again.

In Hanyue Palace, the tenth princess finally let go of her worries.

She didn't expect that God would still favor her, even though she did such a ridiculous thing, she felt anxious and uneasy, just waiting for any news from the General's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the situation was calm, and no one came looking for Su Nichen or Seventeenth Sister.

Even Shangguan Yulin seemed to disappear. She thought she would be curious and come to ask soon.

It seems that everyone is calm and calm, but he is panicking.

It had been snowing heavily for several days, but it suddenly cleared up. She thought about washing the autumn flowers, so she put on her cloak and came to see them.

I walked along the road with broken jade and jade flowers, my body was cold, and I walked around the nine-fold corridor to look at the apricot blossoms that had become broken branches and leaves. The sound of shoes rubbing against the snow was all around my ears. I was drifting, holding on to the rockery. After that, my heart felt empty, my palms accidentally got snowflakes on them, and I felt cold to the bones.

Wuzi stood under the plaque for washing Qingqiu for a long time, not having the courage to lift his legs and go in.

It's probably deserted inside, too.

The spring scenery in the garden has faded away, leaving only the falling snow and the flowers on the trees.

She was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect to have such feelings. Wasn't she always afraid of people and liked to hide in quiet places, but now she wanted to see people, and who she wanted to see - she lost her mind, and her eyes were filled with white winter light, shining brightly.

Suddenly I heard some noise coming from inside, and my heart tightened. The time told me whether it was early or late, so he was definitely not a gardener. His three steps turned into two steps and he ran to the garden. His cloak was knocked down by the flower branches and half of it was scattered on the skirt of his clothes. It was all slush from melted snow.

But she saw a little tabby cat waddling down from the pavilion, opening its mouth to yawn, and came over to rub her skirt.

Le Yao sighed softly. He was quite ridiculous himself. He didn't know what he was panicking about. He leaned over and picked up the kitten. The fur warmed his body. "You are still good and can stay with me. Unlike some people who come and go, a gust of wind blows." Like."

The little thing didn't understand and hid under his cloak and purred.

"Who are you talking about, princess?" A voice sounded behind him. Le Yao turned around in fright and saw Shangguan Yulin holding a flower hoe, his sleeves rolled up, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and a smile on his face, "It's best not to be a minister." "

You—" She paused, thinking of what happened that night, she was so ashamed that she lowered her eyes and remained silent.

Shangguan Yulin put down his hoe with a smile, straightened his clothes, and bowed his hands in salute, "Your Highness, how are you doing recently? I see that Your Highness looks good. Come and plant flowers with me when you have time." Le Yao was puzzled by the fact that he was still planting flowers in the middle of winter

. He hugged the cat tightly and only glanced at the hoe with his eyes.

Shangguan Yulin seemed to guess people's thoughts and said slowly: "Your Highness, you should take good care of the flowers in winter so that they bloom well in spring. Planting flowers is similar to making friends. It means being attentive and thinking about them all the time." She

said Full of interest, he walked a few steps and showed her the damp soil under the residual snow. "Winter snow is the best thing. People say that auspicious snow heralds a good year. Snow can protect the roots of plants, keep them warm and moist, and wait for the snow to arrive." It will freeze to death if it melts. We can't plow the soil now. We have to wait for a while, but too much snow will weigh down the branches, so just prune them." Le Yao said, not understanding these flowers

. The reason is that the heavy snow and cold weather will definitely cause all kinds of harm but no benefit.

But the person opposite was dressed in rich clothes and jade robes, and he didn't look like someone who was cultivating the fields and watering the flowers.

"The assistant minister knows so much, which I have never heard of before." She said softly, and in order to relieve the tension, she kept touching the cat in her arms.

But he was wondering in his heart whether he still remembered the Star-Zhaing Tower.

Shangguan Yulin looked at the tabby cat that was about to fall asleep, and stretched out his hand to tease him, "I am just learning. I used to read books and never practice. I would like to thank Your Highness for giving me the opportunity to plant flowers in the autumn." She gave her the opportunity at the beginning

, It was just to find out the news about Suniechen on the battlefield. If he was not sure before, after what happened that night, there was no reason for him not to know what he was thinking.

But seeing the other person's calm expression, she began to worry.

Involuntarily, she tightened her grip on the cat again. The little thing's tail was pressed down and it meowed. She was so frightened that she quickly let go.

"Servant, do we - should we have something to say?" His cheeks turned red, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the tips of his teeth, "I, do I have something to say." I should - I should

.

Shangguan Yulin looked around cautiously and lowered his voice, "Your Highness, let's go sit in the pavilion for a while. It's quiet over there." CH Le Yao nodded, feeling ashamed of himself. He always looked like a daredevil no matter where he was

.

The other party quickly put down the rolled-up cuffs and reached out to support her, so that she could put her hands on it. Through a layer of amber silk, she could still faintly feel the warmth from her skin.

The memory was suddenly opened, and I remembered that I had fallen into someone's arms.

What kind of confusion and ignorance, and no respect for etiquette.

She wouldn't have looked down upon her.

I felt uneasy and had a lot of thoughts. When I arrived at the Fan Pavilion, I saw Shangguan Yulin taking out a handkerchief, carefully brushing away the fallen snow, and spreading it on the stone bench. "Princess, sit down slowly, it's cold." He was so cautious and did not look arrogant

. .

Le Yao's mind was in a mess. He obviously wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth for a long time.

Shangguan Yulin was still smart and knew the tenth princess's heart. Even if she could pretend that nothing happened, the general would not pursue the matter, and the person on the other side would still not let her go.

In fact, she hasn't been idle recently. For example, Shangguan Zichen is very annoying. She originally thought that the other party was her brother in name only. Shangguan's family is really miserable and she doesn't want to pursue him.

Who knows that the ghost of the other party is still there, and if he comes to provoke the tenth princess today, he may seek revenge on himself in the future, so how can he be left alone.

It is not difficult to kill a person in the exile. There are many folk rangers and assassins, so just pay some money. He also wanted to help the tenth princess to ask about Concubine Yang, but it was a pity that the fake brother would not let go until he died.

The food has not changed, and there is no value in keeping it. She doesn't know if there are any accomplices of Shangguan Zichen in the palace, she is still checking.

Once found, he will be killed without mercy and the future troubles will be eliminated forever.

"Your Highness, some things should be done as they are. You don't need to be trapped in them." Shangguan Yulin looked at the winter snow in the garden, which was being melted by the sunshine. There was also a twinkle in his eyes as winter passed and spring came, "For example, myself Well, the princess must know how I entered the Shangshu Province, and there are a lot of criticisms against me in the court - "

Who doesn't know that Chu Yue's newly promoted Shangshu Minister has risen to the top after killing his relatives for righteousness.

His father died in prison, and his brother was exiled to a foreign country. Although Yu Li had nothing to say, Yu Qing could be described as a denizen of relatives and was ruthless.

Baishan filial piety comes first, how can she be tolerated.

Le Yao never connected these with the person in front of him. The other person was so refined and polite that he would not do that kind of thing.

Even if it is true, there must be reasons for it.

"Servant, I don't know much about the previous dynasty. Anyway, everyone has their own reasons."

She comforted her awkwardly, feeling awkward and forced to be calm.

Shangguan Yulin looked at Cute and said slowly: "Since the princess understands, why can she only talk about others but not let herself go." Looking sideways, his eyes are as clear as springs, "No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong. As long as She is not a fairy, so there is no reason not to be careless and infatuated. I forgive my abruptness and say something presumptuous. Even if the princess has some affection for the general, I am not surprised. It's just that the fate of the world has been determined, so why bother bothering others. I believe in the general. This is also the case, so I gave His Highness some time to meditate without disturbing him."

Le Yao was stunned, thinking about the sincerity of these words, as if they came from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes became wet, "The marriage is determined."

"Your Highness didn't listen. After crossing the line in Yue Lao's hand, the world of mortals will be fixed."

"I'm afraid Yue Lao has forgotten me." She recited dreamily, thinking that the other party couldn't hear it.

However, the sound of squeaking reached his ears, and Shangguan Yulin smiled and said nothing.

After a while, he whispered softly, "Your Highness, when the snow stops, I will accompany you to the General's Mansion in a few days." "The minister

really wants to go with me -"

"Yes."

The author has something to say:

①Explain The marriage between Shangguan Yulin and the twelfth princess was originally proposed to the emperor because the prince wanted to anger Shangguan Zichen. Now times have changed and the prince knows that the other person is a daughter and will not let this happen.

Shangguan Yulin also knew very well, so he was not engaged in a marriage contract and deliberately flirted with the tenth princess.

This plot is very important. If you finish it, you will soon return to the general and the princess.
