Chapter 64 dragon robe
Ning Yin coldly called her “Miss”.
This guy recognized her from the beginning, but deliberately pretended not to know her, watching her dance like a clown.
really…
As if the last layer of window paper had been punctured, Yu Lingxi’s face became hot, and the teacup she held firmly in her hand was also rippling, and even the end of her eyes were dyed a light and bright pink.
The image of her mouth holding the medicine in the past filled her mind in an instant like a torrent that was suppressed to the extreme.
Ning Yin admired her uncomfortable appearance, and her eyes were full of indifference and badness.
He slowly raised his hand to take the veil covering her face.
How about feeding wine while wearing a veil?
But Yu Lingxi took a step back as if awakened, and the veil brushed across his fingertips without a trace.
The two civil servants had just left, and there was a jumble of fish and dragons in the building, she wasn’t sure if anyone was watching Ning Yin in the dark. If you show your face and reveal your identity at this time, you may cause extra problems.
She even forgot about Fuli, turned around and ran away in a hurry.
The corner of Ning Yin’s mouth moved imperceptibly, without stopping.
On the seventh tap with her fingers, Yu Lingxi stopped and stood on the porch.
Suddenly, a group of forbidden soldiers and Dali Temple officials poured into the court. The leader of the forbidden army held the document in hand and shouted an order: “Routine inspection, everyone should go out and stand up immediately! Those who violate the order and fail to do so will be punished on the spot for obstructing official duties!”
There were screams everywhere, and the luxurious Hualou suddenly jumped up and down.
Yu Lingxi was surprised that this group of forbidden soldiers came by such a coincidence.
Although there are officials who come to Hualou regularly every month to collect taxes and inspect, just walk through the front yard, but they don’t search the inner courtyard. After all, those who entertain in the inner courtyard are all nobles and nobles who are related to each other, no one can afford to offend…
For the imperial army to come forward, unless the emperor ordered to strictly investigate the prostitution of officials, it was by no means as simple as a routine inspection.
Yu Lingxi regained her composure and saw a familiar face in front of the imperial army.
Xue Song? What is he here for?
At this time, going downstairs will bump into the forbidden army, and Yu Lingxi simply hides behind the pillar to observe.
Downstairs, the guards kicked the doors and searched from room to room, and drove out couples of disheveled men and women, and gathered them in the courtyard.
Who are you searching for in this battle?
Yu Lingxi’s heart skipped a beat, and she looked back subconsciously.
I saw Ning Yin sniffing lightly at the wine cup she had poured out earlier, looking cool and indifferent, as if the bustle downstairs had nothing to do with him.
Strange, didn’t they come for Ning Yin?
Until the rough yelling of the imperial guards stopped abruptly, Xue Cen came out facing everyone’s surprised eyes.
Although he was barely dressed neatly, but the hair crown was still crooked, and the hair at the temples was scattered, and it seemed that he had “sleeped” beautifully here.
For a moment, those rich and powerful sons who were either frowning or swearing were quiet.
They stared at Xue Cen for a long time with weird expressions, their eyes like knives, wishing to dissect his glamorous appearance, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Xue Song led the forbidden army to check, but found out that his own brother was “prostitute”.
“I didn’t expect Xue Erlang, a dignified gentleman, to hang around such a romantic place.”
“I can’t tell, tsk!”
Xue Cen turned a deaf ear to it.
His eyes were red, and he stood in front of Xue Song in a daze, as if confirming something, after a long while he called out with a complicated expression: “Brother…”
Xue Song’s expression was wonderful for a moment.
Looking at Xue Cen’s stiff and embarrassed back, Yu Lingxi was also a little surprised.
In her impression, although Xue Cen was simple and stupid, with a bit of aloofness in the bones of a literati, he was not a lustful person.
“Whose family’s fiancé is actually Hua Niang’s benefactor in bed.” Ning Yin’s deep voice came from behind.
He didn’t know when he walked behind Yu Lingxi, a tall shadow enveloped her, and said “Tsk”, “It’s so pitiful.”
Yu Lingxi didn’t need to turn her head to tell that he must be smiling, a very nasty one.
There is nothing pitiful, Yu Lingxi thought: She didn’t care about him at all.
Ning Yinyuan was observing her reaction, trying to see the slightest trace of regret or anger from her eyes outside the veil.
But Yu Lingxi’s eyes were still clear, without the slightest bit of resentment or haze, so the mockery in his eyes faded, and his whole person looked gloomy and cold.
He was quite dissatisfied with Yu Lingxi’s performance.
But Yu Lingxi had no time to deal with him or Xue Cen, all of this had nothing to do with her, she just wanted to find Hong Zhu as soon as possible.
At this time, the Lanchun Pavilion was in chaos, and the nursing home was under the control of the imperial army, so it was most suitable for fishing in troubled waters.
Yu Lingxi took two steps, paused, finally took a deep breath and went down the stairs, and nodded to Qing Xiao who was waiting on the flower building in the front yard.
Qing Xiao understood, took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the backyard with the crowd to join her.
Ning Yin stood coldly for a while, then went back to her room and closed the door.
The girl Qin was gone long ago, replaced by a young man in hard attire with an inconspicuous face.
The man reported: “As His Highness planned, the maid has already met Xue Cen.”
“Very good.” Ning Yin put his hand behind his back.
He said that he wanted to kill Xue Cen more than kill him.
“That girl just now…”
“A cat slipped in and I played with her.”
Seeing that Ning Yin let go, the man didn’t ask any more questions, he just said: “Just now I saw that girl go to the woodshed, she must have come for that maidservant too. Do you want your subordinates to stop her and chase her back?”
Ning Yin’s expression froze slightly.
It turned out that she was hiding this trick, heck, she really has a lot of skills.
“No need.”
Instead of blocking it, Ning Yin wanted to facilitate it.
It wasn’t enough for Yu Lingxi to see Xue Erlang being pulled down and fell into the mud with his own eyes. He also had to tear open the pious skin of Xue’s family, and overthrow the childhood sweethearts she protected and believed in bit by bit, and trampled them into powder.
Destruction is always a pleasure.
…
Yu Lingxi found Hong Zhu who was hiding in the miscellaneous room.
Originally wanted to ask in person, but Hongzhu didn’t know what kind of stimulation she had received before, so she kept crying and refused to cooperate.
There was no way, in order not to attract the guards, Yu Lingxi had no choice but to let Qing Xiao knock her out, and took advantage of the chaos to steal her out from the side door without being noticed.
Not long after, Qing Lan brought Tang Buli out.
Tang Buli had just beaten Chen Jian up, and his mustache was so angry that he didn’t ride in Yu Lingxi’s carriage, but rode back home by himself.
Yu Lingxi was worried, so she asked Qing Lan to follow her from a distance, and sent her home safely.
Before the carriage arrived at Yu Mansion, the comatose Hong Zhu woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw that he was in Yu Lingxi’s carriage, he was stunned for a while, and was about to jump into the carriage when he got up.
“Let me go back! Let me go back…”
Those people said that she can only live if she is obedient and obedient, if she wants to run, she will only die.
Hongzhu was mumbling something, but Yu Lingxi couldn’t hear clearly, so she had to ask Qing Xiao to hold her down.
“Don’t be afraid, since I brought you out, I will do my best to protect you.”
Yu Lingxi slowed down her voice to comfort her, and said seriously, “I just want to know what happened the day before Zhao Yuming died.”
Hong Zhu just shook her head: “Second Miss is also here for the Xue family, right? The servants know that you and the Second Young Master Xue are accused of marriage, and you and the Xue family are on the same path.”
“also?”
Yu Lingxi hesitated, “Who else asked you?”
Hong Zhu sniffed and refused to speak.
Yu Lingxi understood, leaned straight on the wall of the car, changed her posture and said, “Since other people have already looked for you, it means that this secret is no longer safe, and you have no use value. If even our Yu Mansion Even if you don’t grasp this last straw, believe it or not, I put you on the side of the road now, and you will be wiped out by the real murderer in the next moment.”
After her analysis, Hong Zhu trembled immediately.
“I say I say! I beg the second girl not to abandon the slaves!”
Hongzhu hurriedly knelt down, “Before the second girl came, this servant was ordered to deliver tea to Yajian, and bumped into Second Young Master Xue. This servant thought he was… for that matter, so in a hurry, I told him everything .”
She repeatedly mentioned the Xue family, and Yu Lingxi felt a bad feeling, and asked calmly, “What did you say to him?”
“I told you about Miss’s death…before she died.”
Hongzhu wrung her coarse cloth sleeves and sobbed, “Miss returned to the waterside that day and saw the second girl behaving intimately with a guard, so she thought… wanted to go to Xue’s mansion and expose to Second Young Master Xue the fact that the second girl was having an affair with the servant… Let him die to marry the second young lady. But Xue’s house is very strict, and the young lady can’t get in at all, so she can only guard outside the door with her servants, and follow the second young master Xue when he goes out, taking the opportunity to expose the matter. ”
“and after?”
“Later, after waiting for nearly two hours, the carriage came out from the Xue residence. The lady heard the servant calling the person in the carriage ‘Mr. When the horses were driving, he had already entered the private room of the Drunken Immortal Tower, and the young lady followed up…”
Recalling everything that day, Hongzhu still couldn’t help shaking.
“However, there are two young masters in Xue’s residence. We followed the wrong person. In the private room, Mr. Xue was discussing with a fair and meek young man. Mr. Xue respectfully called that man ‘Admiral Cui’, what else did he mention?” About the “disaster food”, the slaves stood far away, so they didn’t hear clearly, only saw the young lady’s face change…”
Hong Zhu shed tears, “Then, Miss was discovered.”
Hearing this, Yu Lingxi felt as if a heavy hammer had fallen in her heart.
Young Master Xue is naturally Xue Song, and “Admiral Cui” must be Cui An, the admiral and **** who divided father’s military power.
When Zhao Yuming died, nothing happened to the food disaster, so they discussed this matter in advance, they could only be plotting how to frame Yu Huanchen.
Only when the Ministry of Households takes action can the disaster food be secretly exchanged without anyone noticing.
Poor Yu Lingxi used her past life memories to find out only Wang Lingqing, the right servant of the household department, but unexpectedly, even Xue Song, the left servant, was also Cui An’s accomplice.
So, the Xue family is not as loyal and neutral as the rumors say?
“So, Mr. Xue killed your young lady?” Yu Lingxi’s voice sank.
“The servant does not know. At that time, Mr. Xue discovered the young lady who was eavesdropping. He was not angry at all, and politely invited the young lady in for tea.”
Hong Zhu said, “The servants don’t know what they said inside. After the young lady came out, she was very preoccupied. Later, later…”
Everyone knows what happened afterwards.
Zhao Yuming died of poisoning, the “Hundred Flowers Kill” that took Yu Lingxi’s previous life.
So, the person who wanted to use her body to poison Ning Yin in the previous life… was actually Xue Song?
why?
In two lifetimes, the Xue family took advantage of their friendship with the Yu Mansion while secretly entrapping their elder brother and Ning Yin. Was it to maintain the so-called orthodox morality, or did they have other plans?
There is also a reason for the destruction of the Xue family in the previous life, and clues are connected together, intertwined into a terrible truth.
…
Yu Lingxi quietly placed Hongzhu in another courtyard without anyone noticing.
She urgently needed to confirm the matter herself, so after thinking about it, she prepared a generous gift and came to visit Xue Cen.
The news of Xue Cen’s going to Lanchun Pavilion has already been spread in Beijing. If an ordinary man is more romantic, it will be fine, but he was born in a century-old family with strict etiquette, and he will be punished according to family rules if he damages the family’s reputation.
So when Yu Lingxi came to visit, Xue Cen was standing upright and kneeling in the ancestral hall, facing the ancestors and repenting.
It is not difficult to see from his pale face that he must have been kneeling for a very long time.
Seeing Yu Lingxi, Xue Cen’s already bloodless face turned paler, and a look of self-blame and guilt appeared on his calm face.
He swayed, and Yu Lingxi immediately said, “Don’t move.”
Xue Cen shook his head, still enduring the severe pain in his knees that was almost numb, slowly rolled up his sleeves in the direction of Yu Lingxi, and bowed to the bottom.
“Sorry, Second Sister.”
His voice seemed to be no longer clear and bright as usual, but hoarse and heavy like sandpaper, “I didn’t notice it for a while, I’m sorry…”
“It’s okay, you don’t have to apologize.”
Yu Lingxi poured him a cup of tea, and said softly, “I have always respected and loved you as an elder brother, and if I get married by order in the future, I will not stop you from taking a concubine.”
Xue Cen’s shoulders trembled.
She said “if they get married”, she said she would not stop him from taking a concubine.
Such gentle tolerance was like a sharp dagger piercing his heart.
Only if you don’t love, can you not care!
When he raised his head again, Xue Cen’s eyes were red.
He had a lot of things he wanted to confide and refute, but his Adam’s apple moved, but he only had time to utter a hoarse word: “…OK.”
He is already unclean, and he is not qualified to ask for the mercy of his second sister.
If it weren’t for the gift of marriage that was related to the survival of the two families, he should have hung a foot of white silk on his body last night and walked away cleanly with love for his second sister.
“In the future, Second Sister can do whatever she wants, and I… won’t stop her.”
Xue Cen turned his face away and said with difficulty.
Yu Lingxi was really surprised, what did Xue Cen mean by that?
Before he could figure it out, a deliberate low cough came from behind him.
Turning her head to look, Yu Lingxi lowered her gaze: It’s Xue Song.
I haven’t figured out how to approach him calmly, but he came to the door by himself.
In terms of appearance and talent alone, Xue Song is not as good as Xue Cen in all aspects, he is silent and clear, and he can’t be found in the crowd. He really doesn’t look like a villain.
“Young master.”
“Second girl.”
After the two greeted each other, Xue Song turned to Xue Cen: “Grandfather ordered me to ask, what happened last night, did you…”
Considering that Yu Lingxi was present, Xue Song didn’t speak clearly.
“I do not know.”
Xue Cen stared at the quiet and beautiful young girl from the corner of his eye, as if he was weighing something, he said after a while, “Brother, you should check the other princes.”
Hearing this, Yu Lingxi’s heart tightened.
Now there are only a few princes left, the prince naturally no one dares to investigate, but the third prince is stupid, the little prince is only a few months old, the only one who can investigate…isn’t Ning Yin the only one?
What is Xue Cen implying?
“You have to bear the mistakes you made, don’t divert the conversation.”
Xue Song also spoke in a serious manner, without changing his face, he said, “After all, the prince is a prince, he has the capital to indulge in sex, and no one dares to control him when he goes in and out of romantic places. You are no more than A Cen, you are the grandson of your grandfather’s high hopes.”
Xue Song’s seemingly ordinary sentence made Xue Cen and Yu Lingxi sink at the same time.
Yu Lingxi was not stupid, she deduced in just a few words: Xue Song was indeed staring at Ning Yin.
Otherwise, how could he know all about Ning Yin’s movements in and out of Fengyue?
Before she could figure it out in the future, Xue Cen figured it out.
Sure enough, Xue Cen also became suspicious of Xue Song.
But he didn’t know that the red pearl had fallen into Yu Lingxi’s hands, so he didn’t hide it, thinking that Yu Lingxi couldn’t understand the mystery.
Yu Lingxi looked complicated, and found a reason to resign, and hurried back to the mansion.
She didn’t hesitate, and when she was sure, she told her elder brother exactly what Hong Zhu had said.
Yu Huanchen was shocked, and went to interrogate Hong Zhu himself.
When he got the answer, his heroic brows were twisted into knots: “I said, why did the Yu family secretly investigate the whereabouts of the seventh prince, and it was stabbed in front of the emperor so quickly. I have doubted many people, but I have never doubted two families who have been there for decades. Family friends, this friendship, eventually became a handle to be used…”
From this point of view, the marriage gift between the two families is also a trap to eat away at the Yu family.
The more he talked, the darker his face became, and he wiped his face and said to Yu Lingxi, “Don’t be afraid Sui Sui, I’m going to tell my father to discuss countermeasures.”
With Yu Huanchen’s words, half of the boulder weighing on Yu Lingxi’s heart finally fell.
She didn’t stop, and Ning Yin was also caught in the whirlpool like the Yu family.
Yu Lingxi guessed that the Hong Zhu was hidden in the Lanchun Pavilion, perhaps it was Ning Yin’s handwriting.
But Ning Yin has no memory of her previous life.
He didn’t know that both Zhao Yuming and the Yu family were just stones standing in front of Xue Song, and Ning Yin, who threatened Xue’s status as the master of the Xue family, was the target Xue Song really feared and wanted to eradicate.
The ending of the previous life must not be repeated, so I have to find a way to tell Ning Yin.
Yu Lingxi thought for a moment, and went to the street to buy a prayer lamp.
She carefully drew a picture of “Children’s Hiding” on the lamp paper, and wrote two words suitable for the occasion: “Holding bananas in the north and hearing the southern language, no one hides in secluded places.”
The two sentences can be disassembled according to the location, and then two characters can be synthesized: Jing and Xue.
Be wary of the Xue family.
For safety’s sake, it’s a bit obscure, but with Ning Yin’s intelligence, can you guess it?
After doing all this well, Yu Lingxi asked the coachman to turn the carriage around and went to Duke Tang’s mansion by the way.
A circle of people surrounded Tang Gong’s mansion, and Yu Lingxi entered through the main entrance, only to hear Tang Buli hum: “It’s nothing, I just got divorced.”
“Retire?” Yu Lingxi frowned.
Tang Buli explained: Because she ran into Chen Jian with a prostitute last night, she couldn’t get angry for a while, and flogged Chen Jian more than ten lashes in public.
The Chen family couldn’t hold back and bullied that her family had no man to back them up, so they resigned from the marriage on the grounds that she was “coquettish and unreasonable, and had lost a woman’s virtue”.
This kind of thing is obviously wrong with the man, but as long as the marriage is withdrawn, the girl’s reputation will be ruined.
Yu Lingxi remained silent, not only feeling unworthy for Tang, but also annoyed that she had to ask her for help at such a time.
“Isn’t it just to send you a greeting card to the Seventh Prince?”
After hearing her intentions, Tang Buli waved his hands generously, “It’s easy.”
Yu Lingxi knew that Qingping Xiangjun was the strongest person, no matter how hard he felt, he would never show it to the public.
She will give the blood ginseng and Yannian pills to the old lady Tang, and whispered: “I can’t meet the seventh prince, and I can’t let others know that I have something to do with him, so this invitation can only be borrowed from Mr. Tang.” sent in the name of the government.”
Tang Gongfu has no real power, even if they contact Ning Yin, no one will be suspicious.
“no problem.”
Tang Buli said, “But the Seventh Prince is very withdrawn, he lives in seclusion, so he might not read my posts.”
Yu Lingxi thought of the high-rise lights on the night of Qixi Festival, lowered her eyes and smiled: “Let’s take a gamble.”
She has no other choice but to mention the past with a cheeky face.
Yu Lingxi handed out the letter of worship and the prayer lamp, and solemnly handed it over to Tang Buli.
Now it’s not Qixi Festival or Lantern Festival, Tang Buli was very puzzled by her act of presenting lanterns, but he didn’t ask any further questions, and immediately asked the steward to make arrangements.
“Thank you.” Yu Lingxi saluted her.
Tang Buli was amused by her, pinched her cheek and said: “Silly Suisui! Between you and my sister, how polite are you?”
Yu Lingxi also smiled slightly.
After a long time, he said seriously, “A Li, you deserve someone better.”
On the way back to the mansion, Yu Lingxi lifted the curtain of the car and said to Qing Xiao, “Help me find a person named Zhou Yunqing. The hidden Yun, Ke Qing’s Qing, should be a poor Confucian scholar who is preparing for the next year’s scientific examination.”
She added: “Find him and fund him in the name of Lord Qingping. Be sure to treat him sincerely and kindly.”
According to the memory of her previous life, Zhou Yunqing, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was a leader among the upstarts in the imperial court, and also Ning Yin’s right-hand man.
Such a person is very promising, and he has never heard of any bad habits, so he is much more reliable than Chen Jian.
I hope he can think of Tang Buli’s good, and he will be able to help her in the future.
…
At night, the wind is bitter in late autumn, and the stars and the moon are dark.
Ning Yin stood in the porch in a purple robe, admiring the beautiful birds singing in the cage.
A thin gold chain was tied to the bird’s feet, and the handsome prince with black hair and shawl twirled a piece of grass, making the bird flutter and fly, and was ruthlessly dragged back to its original place by the chain, never tired of it.
The servant reported: “His Royal Highness, in the afternoon, Tang Gongfu sent someone to send a letter of worship, and a prayer lamp.”
Ning Yin is too lazy to deal with people, so she doesn’t read greeting posts on weekdays.
But since the attendant has come to report, there must be something special about it.
“How about the speech?”
Ning Yin didn’t look back, and her voice was lazy and harmless.
The waiter said: “There is only one sentence: everything is as you wish, and there is always peace every year.”
Ning Yin remained calm, twisted the straw in his hand and said, “Take it here and have a look.”
The servant sent the post and the prayer lamp together.
The handwriting on the post is delicate and beautiful, very familiar to the eye, and the strokes are dry and white. It is obvious that the pen used is not strong enough to absorb ink, and it is not written with sheep’s hair or wolf’s hair.
Ning Yin was able to distinguish the strokes, after all, he picked out every single hair from the cut hair.
He lowered his eyes and sneered, closed the post and threw it aside.
With a snap, the waiter shrank his neck in fright and stepped back.
The praying lamp that was not unfolded was lying on the table, looking a bit ironic, reminding all kinds of past events.
Ning Yin stood for a while, but finally lost the mood to tease the birds, walked over and picked up the prayer lamp.
There is an illustration drawn on the lamp paper. It is a child with his head in his arms and hiding under the flower tree, with a cautious expression, as if he is playing hide-and-seek with his playmates.
There are two sentences written next to it: hold the first banana and hear the southern language in the north, and no one hides flowers in secluded places.
Thinking over these two sentences, Ning Yin narrowed her eyes.
That’s it?
His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince was quite dissatisfied, and went to great lengths just to remind him of this?
At least he had to write an eloquent letter of guilt, so that he could forcefully consider whether he should be gentler to her in the future.
After all, he has always been a man who always takes revenge and holds grudges very much.
He fetched a candle and lit the prayer lamp, the fire reflected his black eyes flickering.
The lantern was released and slowly rose from under the eaves. A gust of wind blew in, and the lamp struggled for a while, but was finally blown by the wind and burned through the hole, and instantly turned into black ash and fell, leaving no bamboo bones left.
“Good wind.”
Ning Yin admired, with elegant madness in his eyes.
can not wait anymore.
He wants to take advantage of this wind and give the prince a big gift.
…
The appearance of Hongzhu made the Yu family father and son see many things clearly, and had to re-examine their relationship with the Xue family.
For several days in a row, Yu Yuan talked with his eldest son and daughter in the study until midnight.
“If the Xue family is really two-faced and three-faced, they will become hostages when they marry Sui Sui, no!” It was Yu Xinyi who spoke.
Yu Huanchen’s face was solemn: “The emperor bestowing a marriage is not as simple as you think.”
Yu Xinyi said anxiously: “This is not okay, and that is not okay, so what do you think?”
Before discussing a countermeasure, Qing Xiao came quickly, knocked on the door and said: “Young General, urgent report from the palace!”
The palace urgently reported that something happened in the East Palace.
At Yinshi, the water burned the warehouse, and because of the northwest wind, it tended to spread to the palace.
The emperor ordered Yu Huanchen and Cui An to lead the forbidden army to fight the fire together, but unexpectedly, this rescue saved something extraordinary——
There are good bows and armor hidden in the prince’s treasury, as well as a set of shining dragon robes.
