Chapter 193: Leaving Home
In the night, Nangong Longze's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, and his handsome and three-dimensional facial features were covered with a layer of cold frost. The faint and dim fire light shone on his ink pupils, dark and bloodthirsty, his lips were tightly pursed, and the violent cold and violent aura around him snatched the door out of the door. A loud noise of the door slamming escaped in the night sky, making the woman who was facing his back shiver.
After a few seconds, Feng Ling's voice sounded at the door: "Princess, are you okay?"
The loud noise just now also awakened Feng Ling and Xiyin. The two girls rushed over one after another, but at this moment, Nangong Longze had already left, leaving only Huangfu Yuqing who was packing her clothes in the room.
The woman's hand hanging in the air was slightly stiff, and a strange color flashed across her water eyes. I believe that from just now, the man could hear her every move clearly. However, Huangfu Yuqing quickly returned to her natural expression, and her eyes suddenly became a little cold. She swept away from the man's careless lazy and handsome face and said indifferently: "What's the crime of me? I just don't want to cause trouble for the prince, so I plan to go back to my parents' home to stay for a while. After the prince settles everything, just send someone to send me a message and ask me to come back to get the silver bill."
This time, the blame for this woman is for her kindness. She knows how much trouble she has caused. The reputation of Qinglong Palace in the world is definitely not a good person. Huangfu Yuqing's move undoubtedly brought future troubles to men.
The man slowly walked to the red sandalwood table and sat down. He glanced at the huge bag on the table. His eyebrows were slightly frowned, and then he closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, he couldn't help but plan for the next thing carefully. His thick black eyebrows were tightly twisted together, his black eyelashes trembled slightly, and he thought carefully.
"Princess, are we really going to leave? But the prince..." Xiyin didn't know what happened from beginning to end. She went to bed early last night when she returned to the room. As for the incident where Huangfu Yuqing and Feng Ling left the mansion, she didn't know at all. When she woke up, she was frightened by the sound of Nangong Longze slamming the door and leaving the ground, and then she never fell asleep again.
"Mom, what happened? Are you planning to enter the palace with your father so early?" Huangfu Yuqing stared at the woman's beautiful side profile and said in confusion. She had moved out of the palace now. I wonder what was the reason why my mother was so anxious to enter the palace?
"Then are you planning to ask the Empress Dowager when you enter the palace now?" Huangfu Yuqing frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
"It's a coincidence that your brother is a blessed person..." Wen Shiyun said this, her gentle smile on the corner of her lips rippled deeper, she seemed to be in a good mood, but her voice was deliberately lowered a lot, and she said lightly: "When Mom went to Cixin Palace today, the Empress Dowager had not yet got up, but happened to meet Concubine Wu De. Unexpectedly, Concubine Wu De took the initiative to ask about your brother being sent to Ning'an when she saw me. She seemed to have seen her mother's difficulties and agreed to let the second prince help her to the emperor for a few good words."
"That's right now, except for the Empress Dowager, I can't think of anyone else to help. However... I'm not sure about this matter. After all, the Empress Dowager has always been in seclusion and never cared about the government. I haven't figured out how to speak to her about this matter." Wen Shiyun frowned.
Huangfu Yuqing forced a smile and nodded at the same time, but at this moment Wen Shiyun seemed to remember something again. The smile on the corner of her lips instantly calmed down, and she lowered her voice with a mysterious expression: "I heard that something big happened in the palace yesterday. The second prince got married, but the bride was robbed by the thief halfway. Why didn't you mention this to your mother in the morning?"
"It's all for your brother's business!" Wen Shiyun frowned, because she was anxious and had something to do. For a moment, she forgot to ask why Huangfu Yuqing appeared at the gate of the general's mansion so early. When she saw her daughter, she felt more at ease and hurriedly vomited bitterness at her daughter--
Huangfu Yuqing's eyes flashed slightly, and at this rhythm, it seemed that things should be going well, which made her mood suddenly become clear. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she stepped forward and picked up the osmanthus cake and chuckled, "Mom, did the Empress Dowager agree? Did she promise to mention her brother's matter to the emperor, right?"
"The man Wu Defei has always been very serious in his work. My mother thinks that since she spoke, she should not go back on her word. What's more, my mother didn't treat her badly. She also gave her the piece of satin that she planned to make for the Empress. You don't know what kind of Concubine Wu Defei was doing at that time. She praised her skills."
"Okay, my mother is leaving first, let's have a mother and daughter chatting again." Wen Shiyun nodded in a hurry, and when she passed by Xiyin, a complex and strange color flashed in her eyes. She looked at her deeply. Xiyin quickly bowed her body and bowed. The woman didn't say anything, but nodded slightly, and then got on the sedan chair without looking back.
Feng Ling responded and was about to go forward to slap the door. But at this moment, the door suddenly opened. Wen Shiyun and Huangfu Yi's figures appeared at the gate at the same time. Seeing Feng Ling at the door, he couldn't help but look stunned. Then he noticed Huangfu Yuqing and Xiyin who had just gotten off the carriage.13acv.
Hearing this, Huangfu Yuqing's smile suddenly froze, and the osmanthus cake in her mouth instantly became tasteless. Unexpectedly, the noble man she met when her mother entered the palace this time was actually Concubine Wu De. Concubine Wu De's behavior was even more puzzling. How could she suddenly help Wen Shiyun warmly? It really seemed a bit abnormal.
"Didn't it... did you think of other ways?" Huangfu Yuqing tentatively tentatively. At this moment, her heart was hanging in her throat. She was puzzled that her mother would put all her hopes on her. If she knew that she was planning to stay for a long time after she came back this time, would she be like a bolt from the blue in an instant?
"No. I don't have the chance to mention this matter to the Empress Dowager at all." Wen Shiyun sighed lightly. She had always known the Empress Dowager's temper. After a few tests at Cixin Palace, she was unable to say that matter.
Back to the familiar villa, Huangfu Yuqing and his three masters and servants adapted. After Xiangwu Wen Shiyun, they returned from the palace. After receiving the news, Huangfu Yuqing quickly rushed to the villa in the south wings.
Even if he thought with his toes, Xiyin could guess that there was a conflict between Huangfu Yuqing and Nangong Longze. The prince slammed the door and left last night. The princess then said that he would go back to the general's mansion to live today. Isn't this obviously a problem?
Huangfu Yuqing's words were spoken in an orderly manner. Not to mention Wen Shiyun, even Xiyin and Feng Ling, who were not far behind her, felt a little convinced.
"As long as my mother doesn't bother me, my daughter wants to live for three or five years..." Huangfu Yuqing half-joking and half-serious tone, and it sounds careless, but it seems to be a bit of temptation.
"This morning, my father and mother were in a hurry, so how could my daughter have the chance to say it? I came back so early to tell my mother about this. Now the emperor ordered the prince to handle the matter strictly, so the prince had no time to worry about his daughter and told her to go back to her parents' home for a while and go back after the prince's case was finished..."
Huangfu Yuqing suddenly lost his voice, because she seemed to have seen what she was going to say from Wen Shiyun's eyes, but what should come is coming after all. Wen Shiyun had a serious expression on her face, staring at her eyes for a moment, and she said quietly: "If the Empress Dowager can't help with this matter, my mother will count on you. Qing'er, no matter what, your brother is your brother after all, and his business is the business of our whole family. If you can talk to the King of Pingnan, let him go to the emperor and persuade him for a few words, maybe he can also benefit."
"Where are you going so early?" Huangfu Yuqing said in confusion. She repeatedly told Wen Shiyun when she talked to her heart-to-heart talk, asking her not to stay up late to make embroidery work. But now it seems that her mother did not listen to her advice. The maid put the brocade box in her hand, and I don't know who she wanted to give it to.
"Mom, let's discuss this matter when you come back from the palace." Huangfu Yuqing nodded and answered a little reluctantly. Fortunately, Wen Shiyun was completely confused at the moment and didn't notice her strangeness.
"Qing'er--" A hint of suspicion flashed through Wen Shiyun's eyes. At the eyes of Huangfu Yuqing who appeared outside the general's mansion so early, the couple showed surprise. Although Huangfu Yi did not speak, the eyes that looked at Huangfu Yuqing were a little more.
………Susu’s gorgeous dividing line……………
Wen Shiyun was packing up the things given by the Empress Dowager, including the tributes from the palace. Her gentle voice said in a faint voice: "Qinger, these osmanthus cakes are still hot, you can try it." Se Nan was sucked.
Without saying a word, Huangfu Yuqing silently picked up the bag on the table, hung it easily on her shoulders, and used to support her waist with one hand. Her belly was about to give birth really made her feel a little difficult.
"I just want to tell you that it is not that easy to come in after this gate..." Nangong Longze's dark eyes were filled with ruthlessness, and his low voice was also full of threats and warnings.
The next day, it was dawn, and Huangfu Yuqing, who was sleeping, seemed to hear the sound of the door pushing open. Her eyes narrowed into a thin slit, and she looked in the direction of the door alertly. The familiar tall figure came into her eyes, which immediately made her sleepless.
Just as Huangfu Yuqing walked to the table gently, the moment when the soft-sized man touched the bag, the man leaning on the rosewood chair with his eyes closed suddenly spoke: "Are you going to escape for fear of guilt?"
Wen Shiyun's beautiful apricot eyes were fixed in the woman's eyes, and nodded slowly, saying meaningfully: "Unless the old fox was the one who was a gentleman, I really couldn't think of a reason why the emperor would send your brother to Ning'an. Your brother had just entered the official career and was still in a bad mood in his behavior. The prefect of Ning'an was also a big official, and it seemed a bit uncommon for the emperor to do this."
A trace of gloating contempt arose in the woman's heart. Shangguan Mo's escape made her feel happy inexplicably. She only knew that more troubles would come next, making the man overwhelmed. Looking at his busy appearance would make her irritable mood slightly relieved.
Huangfu Yuqing was also very surprised. Before the dawn was dawn, her parents seemed to be in a hurry, where was they going? Look at the maid behind Wen Shiyun holding a brocade box in her hand. There is no need to guess Huangfu Yuqing knows what it is inside.
Huangfu Yuqing kept staring at the sedan chair disappearing in the distance, her eyebrows frowned more and more. She never thought that she would encounter such a thing as soon as she came back. She didn't know if Wen Shiyun could gain something when she entered the palace today, nor did she expect that the people of the Cao family would be so vicious and secretly used such a trick. Seeing her daughter getting angry and returning to her parents' home, she used tricks to send Huangfu Lingfeng far away, which also made the Huangfu family life difficult, and it was really a bad person.
Feng Ling nodded. She only learned about Xiyin's pregnancy last night. At first, she couldn't believe it, but after thinking about it carefully, she should have thought of this from the beginning, but she was really a fool and never noticed it.
"It's good that you stay with your mother, so that you can save your mother from worrying about it..." Wen Shiyun was overjoyed. In just one day, all good luck seemed to have come. Concubine Wu De promised her son's affairs. Now King Pingnan allows his daughter to go back to the General's Mansion to live for a while. Compared to the two days before, the stay this time should be longer.
"Mom, how are you doing? What do you think of Grandma Huang?" Huangfu Yuqing blurted out anxiously before he even entered the house.
Hearing this, Xiyin's eyes were confused, and a hint of suspicion passed by. Then she looked at Feng Ling, and Feng Ling frowned: "Xiyin, look at your little mouth is frozen purple, hurry back to the room."
Wen Shiyun didn't see her thoughts at all, and responded with a hearty smile: "As long as the King of Pingnan is willing to agree, even a mother who has lived for ten or eight years will not despise you."
"You all go to bed, too. Let's go back to the general's mansion tomorrow." Huangfu Yuqing said lightly.
Nangong Longze didn't know how much restraint he had used, so he resisted the urge to step forward and stop the woman. This woman was spoiled by him and could no longer tell who was the real master in the Pingnan Prince's Mansion. This time he must have given her some color. One day she would come back crying and beg him.
Huangfu Yuqing lay on the bed without moving, and her water eyes were still narrowed into a straight line, staring quietly at the side outline engraved by the man. It seemed that he was very upset, and probably Shangguan Mo had escaped.
It is not difficult for Huangfu Yuqing to see that something must have happened. After watching Huangfu Yi drop this sentence, he hurriedly got on the sedan chair and left. Wen Shiyun, who had a slightly frown, stood at the door and stared at the sedan chair and left, but sighed softly.
Wen Shiyun seemed to be full of confidence, and Huangfu Yuqing couldn't pour cold water on her anymore. If it didn't make her angry, she wouldn't let her ask Nangong Longze at that time, wouldn't she have to raise a stone and shoot herself in the foot?
Time passed by minute by minute, and the sound of chicken crowing from the backyard came from afar. The man and his clothes sat on the rosewood chair, still motionless, as if they were asleep without realizing their thoughts. Huangfu Yuqing slowly lifted the bedding with her hands and feet, got up and dressed neatly. She packed her luggage and placed it on the table beside the man.
Huangfu Yuqing left the door, and Xiyin and Feng Ling in the next room had already packed up. Xiyin learned that she was going back to the general's mansion last night. She couldn't fall asleep completely in the middle of the night. The thick dark circles made her look like a cute panda.
The woman walked step by step towards the door. Nangong Longze sat in his original position without moving, but his sharp eyes stared at the woman's back for a moment. Huangfu Yuqing could feel the scorching hot gaze from behind without looking back. It is not difficult to imagine that the man must be so angry that he gritted his teeth and wished he could swallow her alive.
However, in the end, Shangguan Mo's old fox escaped. Nangong Longze knew very well what to do if he let the tiger go back to the mountain. One day, Shangguan Mo would definitely come to him to settle the matter. Although he was not afraid of the Qinglong Palace, after all, he was in the open enemy and in the dark. It is said that it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and arrows that are difficult to prevent!
After listening to his mother's explanation, Huangfu Yuqing nodded thoughtfully. His mother's words really make sense. The emperor has no reason to send Huangfu Ling to rectify such a chaotic place as Ning'an. There are more experienced ministers in the court than him, and this is not a good job, unless... Lord Cao was Geng from it, and Huangfu Lingfeng volunteered to the saint. Everyone knew that Huangfu Lingfeng was the son-in-law of the Cao family. He did this just to think that he was sincerely serving the country and would not guess other details.
"Feng Ling, go and call the door." Huangfu Yuqing ordered lightly, but was thinking about how to explain to her parents for a while. She just packed her bags and returned to her parents' home, and she must have an explanation for her parents.
"Then I will enter the palace first. If there is anything, please send my father-in-law in the palace to me." Huangfu Yi frowned and asked the emperor for sick leave to stay at home for many days. If it weren't for this sudden incident, he would have stayed at home for a few more days.
Huangfu Yuqing's cold watery eyes faintly passed Xiyin's nervous little face, and her face was as calm as water. She did not answer her question directly, but said lightly: "We should leave!"
"Master, please leave first when you are in a hurry. Let me talk to Qing'er..." Wen Shiyun glanced at her husband beside her, and Huangfu Yuqing also noticed that Huangfu Yi seemed to want to say something but stopped, and she seemed to be in a hurry again if she wanted to say something.
Huangfu Yuqing was slightly stunned at first, and then a light of inspiration flashed across her mind. She was worried that she didn't know how to explain to Wen Shiyun about staying for a while. At this moment, her mother's words really reminded her.
After Nangong Longze entered the room, his deep pupils first glanced at the woman on the bed, and his eyes suddenly became dark. After a night of investigation, he actually let the old fox of Shangguan Mo escape, but he also discovered a secret. He did not expect that there were so many secret passages hidden in the old house in the capital that had been disrepaired, and he secretly built a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have never expected it.
"Mom, maybe Concubine Wu De just mentioned it casually, don't hold too much hope." Huangfu Yuqing was stunned for a few seconds, and then came back to her senses. She pretended to be calm and secretly reminded her mother, hoping that Wen Shiyun would not have too much hope for Concubine Wu De's words.
At the General's Mansion, Huangfu Yuqing and his party had just walked to the gate, and the vermilion bronze door was closed. Seeing that the sky was not yet bright, I guess the people in the General's Mansion had not yet got up.
"Your father and I heard you last time, and we were determined not to care about the couple's affairs this time. Let them make trouble by themselves. Lord Cao and Mrs. Cao visited repeatedly, and your father and I avoided each other. Because your brother insisted on retiring Feng Jue, Feng Jue also cried and packed his things and left the general's mansion two days ago. Unexpectedly, the emperor issued an imperial edict last night, saying that you would send your brother to Ning'an as the prefect. You also know that Ning'an is not only far away from our capital, but also has chaotic security and gangsters. The emperor sent your brother there to let his parents rest assured..."
Huangfu Yuqing turned her head and glanced at them, and said lightly: "Feng Ling, put on my long cloak. Now if her body is stained with wind and cold, it will be in trouble."
Huangfu Yuqing just glanced at the man indifferently, her eyes as cold as water. Although she was close at hand, her eyes seemed to look at a most familiar stranger. It made the man feel palpitations and a chill rose in no way.
Xiyin, dressed in a thin outer robe, also followed him into the room, and continued with a nervous look on his face: "Princess, what happened? I saw the prince go out angrily..."
Wen Shiyun was stunned at first when she heard this, but then she was more happy. She never thought that her daughter could still be with her side when she was about to give birth, so that she could take care of her daughter's daily life with all her heart.
"What happened like this? My daughter didn't hear the emperor mention this in the palace yesterday, so why did she suddenly issue an order?" Huangfu Yuqing was also confused, but soon a gleam flashed through her eyes: "My mother's meaning...can't she suspect that this matter is related to the Cao family, right?"
"Ah?" Huangfu Yuqing's little hand holding the osmanthus cake froze on her lips, staring at her mother who was still calm in surprise. Since she hadn't said anything, why did she look relieved?
Nangong Longze's face became darker and darker. His narrow eagle eyes were first narrowed into a thin slit, and then slowly opened, staring straight at the woman's delicate little face. The rapids hidden under his deep eyes were surging. The sharp eyes seemed to be magnetic, and they wanted to drag the woman into the surging vortex undercurrent.
Huangfu Yuqing also smiled and said leisurely: "Mom, please remember what she said. If you regret it tomorrow, your daughter will not agree."
Wen Shiyun was still smiling happily. She seemed to have accidentally swept the faces of Xiyin and Feng Ling behind Huangfu Yuqing. Feng Ling listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter and cleared her throat unnaturally. She was really curious about what expression would be on Wen Shiyun's face after she learned the truth in a few days.
