A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 275 I Will Let You Know!
Sure enough, the next moment, the wine jar was firmly caught by Qi Wenyan.

He shook it in his hand, and found that there was more than half of the altar in it, so he took an unused wine glass from the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

Then, sat on the stone bench.

Leaning his back on the table and taking a sip of wine, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Cheng again.

He didn't speak either.

His expression carried the usual indifference and calmness.

Yun Cheng was at home today, took off his armor, and only wore a rouge-colored gown without any decorations.

It's just that she came out after taking a bath, with her long hair loose.

At this time, she was sitting half cross-legged among a pile of chaotic rocks, her posture was alert, as if she was ready to violently fight others at any time, and her eyes were also staring at Qi Wenyan.

Two people, eyes facing each other.

Seeing that Qi Wenyan didn't seem to have any malice towards her, her expression gradually calmed down, and she only asked with obvious displeasure: "You know martial arts?"

This Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple is actually hiding something!
Qi Wenyan drank wine casually, his face was calm, and he could not see the guilt and embarrassment of being exposed for lying.

He just said calmly: "In this world, who doesn't have one or two secrets that can't be revealed to outsiders?"

There was something in these words, and when it fell into Yun Cheng's ears, the direction was very obvious.

He had never revealed his unique skills to anyone before, just like——

Yun Cheng has always kept his name incognito, hiding his identity and sneaking into the army!

Yun Cheng is not the kind of girl who is too self-righteous and underestimates others at will. The two live next to each other these days, although Qi Wenyan has never revealed anything...

But she had a vague feeling in her heart that the other party must have guessed her true identity, and at worst, that was all suspicion, and he just upheld the attitude that it had nothing to do with him, and didn't point it out.

Qi Wenyan gagged her about it, but Yun Cheng accepted it.

Afterwards, her attitude relaxed a bit, but she was still unhappy, so she sneered coldly: "Since it's a secret, why don't you keep hiding it and let me know now?"

She shook her robe and stood up.

It's really a good drinker, although she has already drank a lot alone, now she stands up, her figure is not shaking at all.

Qi Wenyan still took it calmly.

He slightly hooked his lower lip, and said in a calm voice, "I'd like to let you know."

It seems random...

When Yun Cheng questioned, he even thought about his possible answer. He should have asked, "Are you going to use this kind of thing as an excuse to report me"?
The reason why a secret can be called a secret is because it can also be used as a handle to a certain extent!

Qi Wenyan's words were casual, but Yun Cheng was not stupid, and Dang even heard some hints behind his words.

Her morale was high, and she thought that she was somehow holding onto Qi Wenyan, even though Qi Wenyan's skill in martial arts was not something shameful in itself, and she didn't really plan to use it to blackmail him, but in the end When the two confronted each other, she was full of confidence and even gained the upper hand.

Then—

Qi Wenyan's light and seemingly very logical words immediately knocked her out of control.

She looked at him in surprise, and was slightly taken aback.

Qi Wenyan also didn't avoid it, and looked back.

There was no ambiguous emotion in his eyes, but it was the kind of honesty that was serious to the extreme, as if it was more like a very clear and resolute attitude, showing the weight of his words.

Yun Cheng was at a loss for a while, and couldn't cope with the situation.

Feeling a little awkward in her heart, she was silent for a moment, then took the lead to look away as if nothing had happened, and walked away.

Bypassing Qi Wenyan, he sat back to the other side of the stone table, picked up his own cup, and poured wine to drink.

Qi Wenyan didn't feel lost either.

He was originally an extremely indifferent and indifferent person, so he was relatively more tolerant of other people's attitudes and reactions.

He calmly drank the wine in the glass, then changed the direction and sat down again, picked up the chopsticks to eat.

In the gap, he glanced at Yun Cheng next to him.

I saw the little girl with slightly rosy cheeks, lying on the table as if she had no bones, playing with the wine glass in her hand while drinking to herself.

She didn't avoid him, and when she saw him looking over, she looked at him nonchalantly.

It may be due to her noble background. There are almost no predicaments and things in this world that deserve her long-term attention and care. Qi Wenyan even knows that the blush on her cheeks is basically due to drunkenness, which is not the same as her own just now. The two sentences have little to do with each other.

Seeing him eating the leftover food on the table without changing his face, Yun Cheng couldn't help frowning, and reminded him: "It's been cold for a long time."

Qi Wenyan didn't take it seriously, and continued to eat with an elegant demeanor but extremely fast, and then replied: "You can't eat hot food at palace banquets."

The palace banquet is not so much a banquet, it is actually more like a grand ceremony. When everyone gathers together, all they want is a grand atmosphere of celebration.

There are so many people at the banquet, and the imperial dining room is far away. One dish is made, and it is served on more than a hundred tables. It's all cold, and it's a torment for those who want to have a full meal.

However -

The vast majority of people are still proud of being able to enter the palace for banquets.

Yun Cheng felt that this person was quite honest and interesting.

She smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, poured another glass of wine, and continued to drink.

Qi Wenyan knew her drinking capacity, so he didn't stop her from drinking too much. He was silent for a moment, and then asked suddenly: "What about you? Didn't you go to the palace this afternoon? Why didn't you go to the palace banquet?"

Yun Cheng pouted, but said nothing.

Qi Wenyan's meal was tasteless, but suddenly it tasted like chewing wax.

He hesitated to put down his chopsticks, looked deeply at the half-drunk girl beside him, and sighed slightly: "I know why you don't want to go."

Yun Cheng just lay on the table, fiddled with the wine glass, and didn't look at him.

His expression was blurred, and he wasn't sure if he was listening to him.

Qi Wenyan said: "It's true that you don't want to go to that banquet, but because you didn't go, you're not happy, so you're drinking here."

"Yeah, those people are so annoying. They always make a fuss and judge others by themselves." Xu Shi was caught by Qi Wenyan, so Yun Cheng didn't let him hang out anymore, but she was still not interested, and she didn't care about lying on the table. Looking at him, he murmured in a low tone: "Even if I can think about it myself and don't care, as long as I appear in front of those people, they will all look at me with strange eyes in private. Man, life is true." Difficult... As long as you don't live alone, you must be influenced by others, and no one can do whatever you want and be alone."

Because of her face, not only outsiders, but also her father, queen and queen...

No matter how natural they behave in front of her, in fact, she knows that from the bottom of their hearts, they all still regard her as a poor little wretch. The bottomless pampering and accommodating all come from what the empress father and empress think she owes her.

From all aspects, she is an outlier, the kind of person who will be treated specially by others.

No matter how hard she tried, even if she was really strong enough to be invincible and wanted to treat herself as a normal person, she would never be able to be!

That feeling is both powerless and sad.

But she can't even complain!
after all--

Because of her "specialness", all she got were privileges and benefits, and she said that she was hypocritical and dissatisfied.

Is it true that she has no interest in attending the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet or the State Banquet on New Year's Eve?
how could be?

She's just a teenage girl, how could she not like excitement?

And in such days of family reunion, who doesn't want to stay with their parents and relatives and share the family relationship?

She just can't go, and if she can't go, it will spoil the atmosphere in the palace!
The little girl murmured, and tears slowly appeared in her eyes.

But she turned her head away and wiped the back of her hand.

Qi Wenyan is not a person who can comfort others, and his empathy ability is also pitiful, but he can almost empathize with Yun Cheng's "hypocritical" little thoughts in front of him.

She was right, as long as a person does not live in isolation, no one can really be free from external disturbances, and completely turn a blind eye to other people's eyes and gossip.

These years, he has assumed the undignified status of being the son of the Qi family's concubine. Even though he is proud of his officialdom, he has made great progress in his official career, and has become the envy of everyone in his official career, but in fact, he has never been able to get rid of that unbearable... The so-called background, the vast majority of people have two faces to him.

Of course, those are irrelevant people, and his heart is strong enough to ignore their obedience, but in fact, he is under such an atmosphere of being despised, ridiculed and criticized day after day , his temperament will become more indifferent day by day, and the grievances in his heart will become darker and deeper day by day.

When everyone is trying their best to step you into the abyss, how difficult is it for you to protect that little light that yearns for the light in your heart?

More often than not, it's easier to give up than to keep going.

Qi Wenyan was absent-minded for a while, and when he regained his thoughts, he looked again, only to find that Yun Cheng had fallen asleep lying on the table.

The cool moonlight shone in the pavilion, extremely bright and clear, making the girl's long hair draped over her shoulders look like fine silk and satin shimmering.

When she was asleep, her lips were slightly pouting, like a lively and playful little girl.

Then, something bad happened in her sleep, her eyelashes trembled violently, and she was about to wake up with a frown.

Qi Wenyan raised his hand to caress the back of her head, and gently rubbed it twice. After she murmured something, she slowly calmed down again, and continued to sleep peacefully.

On the Qi Mansion's side, the kitchen warmed up some meals and sent them to Qi Wenyan's yard, and handed them over to Feng Lin.

Feng Lin hurried back after going to the stable to feed him and Qi Wenyan's mounts. At first, seeing the dark lights in the room, he thought that Qi Wenyan had just fallen asleep, but then he heard that he asked the kitchen to deliver the supper, so he went to try it. Knock on the door.

No sound was heard inside, but the door was ajar.

He felt strange, opened the door and went in, turned on the lamp and saw that the bedding on the bed was neat and untouched.

He himself came from the front yard just now and didn't meet Qi Wenyan, so he suspiciously went to the back yard to look for someone.

Feng Lin saw the two people sitting in the pavilion as soon as he reached the end of the corridor, so he tactfully did not approach and disturb them, and went back to the yard to wait.

It was half an hour after Qi Wenyan came back.

At that time, Feng Lin was sitting on the threshold and had already dozed off. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he yawned and stood up quickly: "Master, the kitchen has brought over the food. If you want to eat, this subordinate can take it and reheat it." hot."

"Don't eat." Qi Wenyan strode into the door with no special expression on his face, but from the smooth and light tone, it can be seen that he must be in a good mood.

Feng Lin vaguely guessed what it was for, but he continued to play dumb, and followed him into the room in a muffled voice, taking away the untouched food on the table.

Qi Wenyan took off his court clothes, and was about to wash up, but he stopped him suddenly: "Hey, tomorrow...you go and hire me a cat?"

"What?" Feng Lin was completely awake in an instant, and even suspected that he had heard it wrong, and wanted to pierce his ears first, and asked uncertainly: "Master, what do you want?"

Qi Wenyan didn't seem to be joking at all, he looked down at his right hand, as if reminiscing about some real tactile experience, and thought seriously: "It's the kind with smooth back hair, don't be too sick. Yes, but they can be kept at home, and they won’t run away casually.”

Fenglin: ...

"Okay... okay, my subordinates will do it tomorrow."

Feng Lin left the house in a daze, but Qi Wenyan was satisfied and went to sleep.

On the other side of the Marquis of Changning, Gu Zhan also sent Qi Huan to the door.

Qi Huan saw that the door of the house was bare, but he didn't see Yang Qingyun's car and entourage. For a while, he was not sure whether it was too late, Yang Shi stayed him at the house, or he sent Yang Shi and them back and left directly.

Gu Zhan got off his horse and came over to help her down with his own hands.

Qi Huan stopped thinking about it, just looked up at him and said, "Let's go in together, my mother won't be able to sleep tonight, let's listen to what she has to say."

A pleasant smile flashed in Gu Zhan's eyes, but he shook his head: "Today is such a good opportunity to expose the shortcomings, and Mrs. Shizi didn't say a word in front of the imperial court. I think it's probably a family scandal. Don't say that we are not married yet, even if we are already When you get married, you have to have a sense of proportion, and I shouldn't be there at a time like this."

He knew it was inappropriate, so it was one thing to refuse, but Qi Huan took the initiative to invite, but it was a matter of attitude, which showed that she did not treat him as an outsider.

The two stood facing each other, Qi Huan clasped his belt with his fingers, hooked it in a bored way, and still smiled without seriousness: "Thanks to your efforts tonight, things are going so smoothly. My mother is a A person who knows how to repay her kindness, and our grievances with that side are obviously not over yet, and we will have to ask you to help pass the knife in the future, even if you go to see her with me, my mother will not shy away from you."

On this point, Gu Zhan's attitude was very firm and he still did not agree.

Qi Huan didn't have to drag him in together, she just separated for too long and wanted to find an excuse to get bored with him for a while, so she dragged him and continued to chatter: "And what kind of virtue am I, my mother is also very Be clear, even if you don't follow up and listen in person, she also knows that I will tell you later."

"It's still different for you to tell me, and I go in and listen to her face to face." Gu Zhan smiled, and naturally he could see her true intentions.

Qi Huan was still a little reluctant, and after dawdling for a while, he said resentfully: "Well, you must have been on the road at full speed for days when you come back today, go back and rest, and see you after rest."

That being said, she still didn't let go, nor did she back away from Gu Zhan.

Gu Zhan then raised his hand, wrapped her in his arms and hugged her, and buried his head in a kiss on her forehead: "Then I'm leaving."

Qi Huan raised his head and looked at him, and nodded after a while: "Yeah."

Only then did Gu Zhan let go of her, got on his horse and left.

Qi Huan wanted to ask him about the return of Gao Changjie's coffin to Beijing outside the palace gate, but was interrupted at that time. She actually had a chance to ask again now, but seeing that Gu Zhan didn't take the initiative to mention it, she thought He probably guessed that Gao Yunze would soon return Fuling, he didn't say anything, he just didn't want to cause trouble to her earlier.

So, she held back and didn't ask.

Watching Gu Zhan leave, Qi Huan also turned and entered the mansion.

The people in Fulin Garden and the second room all went back to their respective yards after returning to the mansion, and then they didn't move around anymore. Qi Huan handed over the horse to the porter to lead him to the carriage and stable, and went back to Qixia Garden by himself. An Xuetang.

Sure enough, the lights in Yang's yard were still on, but there was no sound.

Qi Huan then walked in lightly, and tried to push the door, but the door was ajar, so she opened it and walked in.

Lady Yun stood guard in the outer room, and when she saw her come in, she immediately stood up.

Just when Qi Huan was about to ask her about Yang's situation, through the screen, Yang from the back room had already called her: "Sister Huan is back?"

"Yes!" Qi Huan smiled at Miss Yun and went straight into the back room.

Yang Shi had already washed up, and sat on the bed with a pale face and a weak face leaning on the pillow.

Qi Huan glanced around: "Has Dr. Chen come over to show you? Why aren't father and cousin here?"

"I'm fine, so I didn't call Dr. Chen." Yang said, apparently in a bad state, so she leaned against the head of the bed and didn't move.

There was a weak smile on the corner of her lips; "It's getting late, Brother Yun, I sent him back straight away. Your father has to go to the Yamen tomorrow, and I also sent him back to the study in the outer courtyard to sleep just now."

Her face was calm and relieved, she turned her head to look in the direction outside the door, and asked Qi Huan again: "Did that kid from the Gu family come with you?"

"He said that it's getting late today, so he went back first because he was afraid of disturbing your rest." Qi Huan said.

Seeing Yang's appearance, he couldn't bear to torment her so late, so Qi Huan simply didn't sit on her bed, sighed and said: "Mom, you have been stimulated today, and you look very tired, or you should go to bed first." Well, rest well, let's talk tomorrow if we have anything to say."

Their grievances with Yang Chenglian's family, Qi Huan was really curious to the point of scratching his heart at the beginning, but Yang didn't say anything, she had endured it for so long, on the contrary, she became much more patient, and was not in a hurry for a while.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Yang nodded, "That's fine. I'm really out of spirits today."

After a pause, she looked at the daughter in front of her, but her eyes turned red with a complicated expression, "It's thanks to you that I'm in the palace today. It will cause a catastrophe. You will suffer too, go back and rest first."

It's really inappropriate for her to talk about this tonight, as her mood has not fully stabilized, and she is prone to get sick when she is excited.

Qi Huan returned her a comforting smile: "Okay."

She turned around and came out, and told Mrs. Yun: "Mother has been stimulated today, and there is a risk of relapse of old diseases. Aunt Lao Yun is working hard tonight, so she must pay more attention to the situation in her room. If there is anything wrong, just call me .”

"Slaves can save it." Aunt Yun nodded and sent her out the door.

Qi Huan looked at the side room again: "Brother Chen is asleep?"

Niangzi Yun said: "It's also going on. I didn't go to bed until Madam came back. Don't worry, Miss, there are slaves here."

Today's battle in the palace seemed to be a war of words, but in fact it was under tremendous psychological pressure. Qi Huan was indeed a bit overdrawn. Once he relaxed, he felt his head was empty.

When she returned to her room, she didn't even have the strength to take a shower, so she just wiped her face and fell asleep.

Originally, he wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, so as to regain his energy, but it was only early in the morning the next day, and there was a commotion in the house.

Yunxi came over and called her: "Miss, get up and have a look, the old lady is screaming for Sapo again, clamoring to kill someone."
