Chapter 176 Never Forgotten (Part 2)
The smile is like a painting book, and the fragrance of books is formed into a scene. The spring breeze is proud of poetry and writing, nourishing the passing years.
Another day will be Xiao Qingyue's "death day". Recently, many people from other places seem to have come to Yangzhou City, which is particularly lively.
The flowers and plants in the Xiaozhai Biyuan Garden are lush and tender buds are emerging. This lifeless house seems to have returned to its former appearance a year later.
The weather has been gloomy these days, with occasional light rain falling and densely, and it seems that there is a lot of rain in this season.
Xiao Qingyue stood in Langfang in the yard, staring at Jin Gui in the garden, and was hiding from the spirit. Not far away, there were guards who were always paying attention to her movements.
The day before yesterday, when the man forced her to kiss her in bed, luckily he was interrupted by the guards who came to report the news from the Yangzhou government office. She also took this opportunity to find out that Xiao Tong and Shen Rujun had already come to Yangzhou.
The elder brother of the emperor, the princess, sister-in-law, Xiao Youyu, Xiao Yuzhan... She seems to have not seen them for a long time. After Su Xing said that after her tragic death, Xiao Youyu went back and fell seriously ill. There were also Lian Qiao and Luluo, which became the pain in each of them.
She sighed melancholy, and she knew that Xiao Nanfeng had been ill for a long time. She had been ill for more than half a year and her health was not as good as before. When she saw him this morning, he seemed to have been coughing.
During this year, some local celebrities and prominent families in Yangzhou wanted to take the opportunity to cling to each other, but were rejected by the man. He also ordered that if someone mentioned the marriage of in-laws, he would be severely punished!
She suddenly remembered the woman who had worked hard to fall under the horse when she met Xiao Nanfeng in the city a few days ago. No matter when, there would always be different women who would go on one after another, wanting to get the favor of that man. Furong, who was rescued by her before, heard that she had also been sent to another place to settle. There were no female relatives in the Xiao Mansion except for a few maids...
Looking at the golden osmanthus, Xiao Qingyue felt a little sarcastic. She remembered that she had gone out of the city to worship Ran Yu before, but she did not see a plum tree along the way.
Su Xing told her that a year ago, Xiao Nanfeng ordered all the plum trees in Yangzhou City to be eliminated.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He wanted to erase something and prove something he wanted to prove it. He was really deceiving himself!
At this time, the two little maids carried things into the yard and saw the people standing in Langfang on one side, and they saluted respectfully.
"I pay homage to the princess"
I glanced casually at the things in the tray in my hand, which were all the candied pastries she loved to eat in the mansion.
If you are not cold or hot, ask, "What are you sending these things here now!" It's time to eat dinner in half an hour. Is it time to send snacks here to ask her to eat these at night?
The maid replied, "The prince said that the dinner party would be late. The prince was afraid that the princess would be hungry, so he asked me to send some snacks over and let the princess cushion first."
Another little maid took over the conversation and added, "The soup made for the princess in the back kitchen is ready. If the princess wants to drink it, I will go and serve it for the princess."
Xiao Qingyue really wanted to play herself as a bad master, but she couldn't do it anyway. She looked at the two young maids, who were always taking care of her daily life these two days. She was very careful, careful, and tried her best, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. This made her think of Lian Qiao and Lu Luo, and she didn't know how the two girls were doing when they were back, and whether Li Xun had gone to Lian Qiao's house to propose marriage.
Thinking of this, she regained her original tone, "Put things in the house." The love, hate and affection between her and Xiao Nanfeng, why bother to show her face to the maids and the people?
Then she went back to the room, and her eyes swept across several black shadows not far away. The day before yesterday saw so many elite soldiers guarding the entire main courtyard. It was harder than climbing the sky to escape. At her strong request, Xiao Nanfeng reluctantly agreed to withdraw some, leaving some hidden in the darkness. She had to find a way to escape from the Xiao's house. She thought Su Xing and the others must be very anxious at this time...
After entering the room, I sat down at the small table, looked at the plates of neatly arranged snacks, picked up a candied fruit and put it in my mouth, and started chatting with the two maids.
"What are your prince doing? Why do you postpone the dinner time?" Xiao Nanfeng is a person with a very regular schedule. He will never eat after the time. He will postpone today.
There must be something going on during the meal.
One of the maids replied, "The prince is going to go outside the city to welcome guests. I heard that several important guests have come from Jiankang."
When Xiao Qingyue heard this, she was shocked and all the honey fruits in her hand fell off... an important guest from Jiankang?! Is this talking about the elder brother of the emperor and the princess and sister-in-law?! If they saw her and knew that she was still alive, how could she pretend to have amnesia and deceive Xiao Nanfeng!
No! She has to think of a solution quickly, and never let Xiao Tong and the others see her!
At this moment, a carriage was slowly driving out of the city. Two coughs came from inside the car from time to time. Li Xun, who was riding on the horse outside the car, listened to the sound from inside the car and said with concern.
"Does the prince have had an old illness again?" He has been outside for the past two days to investigate Su Xing's whereabouts. As soon as he came back, he found that his master seemed to be sick again.
A voice came from the carriage, "It's okay, how have you checked in the past two days?"
"Prince forgives the crime. Lord Su seems to have noticed that our people are following him. After leaving that day, he left, he disappeared after he was missing. His subordinates ordered people to investigate for a long time but he did not show his trace again."
"What about Gao Wenfan?"
"As soon as my subordinate received a message from the prince, he sent someone to follow the guy. The guy never came out after returning to Fahua Temple. At this moment, the subordinates in Fahua Temple have arranged for people to squat. Whenever there is news, someone will send a message back."
After the words came, there was a silence in the car. After a moment, a voice came out again, "The news of the princess's resurrection must not be known to others, especially those in the capital!"
"I understand!" Li Xun thought for a while and replied, "Prince, I still have something to report to you."
"What's the matter"
"I received a secret report today, and someone saw Yin Junyin's son-in-law appear in the suburbs of the city yesterday."
When the man in the carriage heard this, his eyes shook coldly and his eyebrows frowned!
Yin Jun!
"Where is he now?"
"It should still be in Yangzhou City"
"Send more people and be sure to find him!"
"yes!"
After speaking, a cough came from the carriage again...
The night gradually darkened, and as the night fell, the temperature also dropped a lot. At night, light rain drizzled again, dense and thin, with a hint of coldness.
When Xiao Nanfeng finished greeting Xiao Tong and his group and returned to Xiao’s house, he happened to meet the person they were looking for, Yin Jun, less than half a mile from Xiao’s house!
Yin Jun, dressed in green, looked at the man in purple who got out of the car and immediately sarcastically said, "I haven't seen him for a few days, and the prince seems to have lost a lot." Not long ago, Xiao Nanfeng returned to Beijing to visit Xiao Yan who was sick. At that time, he saw that Xiao Nanfeng was not in good looks and condition. Now Xiao Yan's illness has been cured and he can go hunting, but the man still looks sick.
Xiao Nanfeng sneered, "How can Prince Yin come to Yangzhou with leisure?"
He also sneered, "I'll worship Qingyue, and then come to see if the prince is doing well."
When the man in purple heard this, the temperature in his eyes was as cold as the night today. At this moment, the rain was falling on him. Li Xun, who was beside him, couldn't help but worry about his body when he saw it...
Slightly tightened his palms behind him, Xiao Nanfeng replied calmly, "I'm worried about Mr. Yin, I'm very good!"
Yin Jun looked at the man's sickly pale face and thought he was holding on. "I heard that the Crown Prince came from Jiankang this time and wanted to do a ritual for her to celebrate Qingyue's death. I wonder how the prince will mourn this, the Sixth Princess!"
Li Xun, who was standing beside him, became more and more panicked. Yin Jun was clearly here to provoke deliberately and wanted to sprinkle salt on his master's wound. Fortunately, Xiao Qingyue was still alive. Otherwise, it would be strange if Xiao Nanfeng was not angry and vomited blood when he heard these words!
The man in purple raised his thin lips slightly, and his palms tightly held behind him had already loosened at this moment, and he said slanderingly.
"I also want to ask Mr. Yin for advice. I don't know how Mr. Yin mourned his deceased wife on the day the eldest princess died."
"......" Yin Jun was speechless and even more aroused the hatred in his heart. It was said that the time when Xiao Yuyao and Xiao Qingyue passed away one after another was different.
By three months, the treatment of the two after their death was completely different. Xiao Yuyao was gradually forgotten by people, while Xiao Qingyue still made so many people worry about it.
Xiao Nanfeng directly ignored the angry person. At this moment, the cold light in his eyes seemed to be able to kill someone.
"Mr. Yin, I have let you go many times for Yue'er's sake, but you don't seem to appreciate it! You have always wanted to kill me and use Yue'er to deal with me, and even hurt her life!...Yin Jun! Have you ever been worthy of that call Brother Yin!"
He was stunned, and Yin Jun's face gradually became a little ugly. If it were not forbidden to do so, he would not have hurt Xiao Qingyue. However, the hatred of taking his wife, Xiao Yuyao's death had long been like a seed of roots and sprouts, buried deep in his heart.
He blamed all this on the man in front of him, "The initiator of all this is you! The Sixth Prince! Yu Yao's death is because of you! Qingyue's death is also because of you! If you didn't provoke Yu Yao, how could she do those stupid things and end up in depression! Qingyue was forced to go to a dead end because of your unrighteous mind!"
The latter sentence was like a sharp arrow, hitting Xiao Nanfeng's heart. Whenever he mentioned the scene when Xiao Qingyue died, he felt so distressed that he couldn't add it.
"The eldest princess... you asked the emperor for an order to marry her. You can't get her heart, but you want to blame others... I tell you that there is only one woman in my heart from beginning to end, that is Xiao Qingyue!" After saying that, he coughed again.
Although Yin Jun was extremely angry, he couldn't help feeling relieved when he saw that he seemed to be ill.
Xiao Nanfeng had already seen the smug look on the man's face and snorted coldly, "Prince Yin! This is the last time!" If Xiao Qingyue hadn't been alive now, he would have been a killer, and he would not have been lenient in the future!
The carriage started to drive again, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, while the man in blue clothes was still standing there staring at the direction where the carriage left.
As soon as Xiao Nanfeng returned to the mansion, he asked Xiao Qingyue where he was and what he was doing... But the servants in the mansion were hesitant, and even Xu Fu looked unspeakable and didn't know how to reply.
Seeing this, Xiao Nanfeng thought that something had happened to Xiao Qingyue, so he rushed to the main courtyard house again...
