Feng Qing Shaoyi

Chapter 112 Mantra
The night is as thick as ink, and a round of bright and clean full moon hangs lightly in the night, the moonlight pours down silently, drawing the shadows of the moon, which are hazy and indistinct.

On the roof, a figure in an indigo brocade suit was sitting quietly, looking up at the full moon.Under the bright silver light, this deep color is also illuminated very brightly, and the jade-like side face is more delicate.Looking around, the mysterious and silent forest is not as attractive as this elegant figure.

Qi Ze looked at the full moon in the sky, his eyes were as calm as usual.

The matter of the Fang family is over, but she still feels a little uncomfortable.

Why did she take care of the Fang family's affairs?Is it because of Zheng Shen's confession, or because of Su Wanqing, the woman who lived a miserable life?

As Meng Yanxi asked, she didn't know what she was obsessed with, maybe it was because Su Wanqing had the same fate as her, which made her feel the same way.

Let her understand the incomprehensible pain in Su Wanqing's heart, so let her feel compassion.It's just that all she did didn't save her, and what should go is still gone after all.

"Shaoyi."

Just as Qi Ze was thinking, a gentle voice suddenly came.

Xu Siheng stood tall and tall under the eaves, smiling and looking up at Qi Ze.

"Rong Yu." Qi Ze looked at Xu Siheng in a daze, and couldn't help but read aloud.

Xu Siheng smiled and lifted the small wine jars in his hands, "Want to drink?"

Qi Ze stared at the small wine jars, and nodded after a while.

Xu Siheng climbed to the roof from the wooden ladder set up next to him, sat next to Qi Ze, and handed one of the wine jars to Qi Ze.

"Here, I know Shao Yi is not good at drinking. So what I brought was just ordinary rice wine, which is not strong."

Hearing this, Qi Ze opened the small wine jar, and a hint of mellow rice fragrance came out from it. The taste was light, and it was indeed rice wine with little strength.

Thinking that he wasn't in a good mood anyway, Qi Ze simply lifted the wine jar and took a few sips of wine, then put down the wine jar and wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand.

Originally a slightly rough movement, Qi Ze made it extraordinarily elegant and casual, eye-catching, without a trace of vulgarity.

Xu Siheng looked at Qi Ze pouring wine directly, and said with a smile: "It seems that Shaoyi is in a bad mood?"

Qi Ze looked up at Xu Siheng in surprise, was it obvious that she was in a bad mood?How did Xu Siheng see it?

Seeing Qi Ze staring at him all the time, Xu Siheng smiled gently and said, "I heard about the Fang family, and I know that Shao Yi took extra care of Mrs. Fang. Mrs. Fang is a good woman, and it's a pity to die like this." gone."

"During this period of time, I have been busy with the affairs of the household department. I'm really sorry that I didn't help Shaoyi." After Xu Siheng finished speaking, he opened the wine jar and took a sip.

Qi Ze shook his head, the affairs of the household department were relatively complicated.As Xu Siheng's candidate for the next Minister of the Household Department, there will definitely be more things.Moreover, the affairs of the Fang family had nothing to do with Xu Siheng, so it would be more troublesome if Xu Siheng was involved.

"The next time Shaoyi is in a bad mood, you can tell me, and I will come to accompany Shaoyi." Xu Siheng smiled, took advantage of the situation and raised the wine jar again, and drank the wine.

After hearing this, Qi Ze couldn't help but think in her heart, why did she feel that what Xu Siheng said was a bit strange.But thinking that Xu Siheng's character was gentle and considerate, he didn't care too much, so he nodded casually.

Seeing Qi Ze nodding, the smile in Xu Siheng's eyes deepened, and after taking a sip of wine, he said, "Is Shaoyi in a bad mood because she didn't protect Mrs. Fang well, and she blamed herself for letting Mrs. Fang die alone in the end?"

"Yes, Mrs. Fang has a heart, and catkins are tall. She should have lived a good life, and shouldn't have died under the accusations of everyone. If I could predict the actions of the Cao family one step in advance, she wouldn't have to come out to take the blame been abused by the people."

After Qi Ze finished speaking, he took a sip of the wine and felt that the wine tasted a little spicy and bitter, so he frowned and put the wine aside.

"Although Mrs. Fang passed away, isn't the Fang family still doing well under Shao Yi's protection?" Xu Siheng turned his head to look at Qi Ze, "The affairs of the government are erratic, and no one can predict what will happen next. No one expected that the Cao family would go to Fang's house to take advantage of the fire. Shao Yi has already done a good job."

"But in the end, people still died, as if it was fate, and no one could stop it." Qi Ze lowered his head and muttered to himself.

Regardless of whether Murong Sheng was instigating the Cao family behind the scenes, Su Wanqing would not live long if she was seriously ill, and would eventually die in the backyard.But if Murong Sheng hadn't let the Wang family intervene in this matter, Su Wanqing wouldn't have to go to jail, and eventually died in ruin.

During this period of time, he has been busy with the affairs of Fang's family and ignored what happened in the court.Although it is said that Qi Chen was responsible for this matter behind the scenes, but the Wang family occupies a place in the Imperial Academy and has a prominent position among many aristocratic families, why would they be willing to listen to Qi Chen's words.

She wouldn't think that the Wang family had a false reputation and was strong on the outside but capable on the inside.Since they can make a name for themselves in the Imperial Academy, how can the Wang family underestimate them?The reason why he listened to Qi Chen's words and made such a move is probably because of the Jiang family.

Jiang Wen can be regarded as Su Wanqing's mentor, and the relationship between the two is naturally extraordinary.The Fang family was in trouble, so Jiang Wen's character would naturally not stand by.

The Fang family already owed the Cao family a life, and they didn't take it for granted.If Jiang Wen openly favored the Fang family, people would definitely catch him.Jiang Wen is the eldest son of the Jiang family, if something happens to Jiang Wen, the Jiang family will suffer greatly.The Wang family and the Jiang family have always been at odds with each other, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

Qi Chen is the best at using people's hearts, and he also knows that the Wang family will never let this opportunity go, so he asks the Wang family to mention the Cao family.He hides himself and lets others do the trick, even if he fails, he won't be found.

There was nothing wrong with this plan, and the Jiang family was also doomed.It's just that Qi Ze didn't expect that Qi Ze would intervene, and even took out the token of Dali Temple to move Emperor Zhaozheng out.With Emperor Zhaozheng guarding the place nearby, Murong Sheng didn't dare to make any big moves.

This matter can be regarded as a failure, and Qi Chen is probably very angry now.Being able to get angry with Qi Chen is not considered fruitless.

"Shao Yi, if there is something you know you can't do, or even dare not think about it, but you still can't help thinking about it. You know that there will be no results, but you still can't help caring, lest you I will never see you again. If this happened, what would Shao Yi do?"

Xu Siheng seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, his face was flushed, his eyes were a little blurred, and he was staring blankly at the front.

Without waiting for Qi Ze to answer, Xu Siheng continued talking to himself: "I have such a thing. One day I met a person. I thought it was just an ordinary meeting, and we would get along like ordinary friends. But I don't know When this person enters my heart, his every move seems to affect my mind, so I can't help paying attention."

"He's like the moon, it's clearly there, as if you can touch it. But when you really reach out to touch it, you realize that it is so far away, hanging high in the sky, making you elusive Right now."

"Obviously knowing that this moon does not belong to you, but you still can't help but look at it, watching the moonlight shining on the earth and in your heart at the same time. At this time, you will find that you are very happy, even though you know that you can't , but I still miss him uncontrollably.”

"I don't know what it feels like, but slowly I understand." Xu Siheng turned his head and looked at Qi Ze, "Shaoyi, I really like him, and I can't help liking him." Then his eyes became more blurred, The words were also somewhat vague, "And this person is you."

"Rong Yu, what did you just say?" Qi Ze asked doubtfully, turning his head to look at the drunken Xu Siheng.

Just now she was thinking about the affairs of the Wang family, so she didn't listen carefully to Xu Siheng's words.Did Xu Siheng say something just now?

"I said I like it..." Xu Siheng's eyes were confused, he looked at Qi Ze and wanted to repeat what he said just now, but before he finished speaking, his head became dizzy and he fell drunk on Qi Ze's shoulder.

Qi Ze looked at Xu Siheng who was drunk and was a little stunned. Rong Yu's drinking capacity is so bad, it seems that she is not the worst one.

The wind at night was a little cool, Qi Ze felt a little cold sitting on the roof.After looking at Xu Siheng, he sighed.He picked up Xu Siheng and hugged him in his arms, jumped off the eaves, and prepared to put him on the small bed in his room to rest.

As soon as Qi Ze entered the room, he saw someone lying on the bed.The other party seemed to be very familiar with this room, lying on the bed very lazily and leisurely, and looked over when she saw her coming in.

"You like hugging men very much?" Que Yu looked at Xu Siheng in Qi Ze's arms and raised his eyebrows.

Qi Ze: "Also... I don't like it very much."

Why did Que Yu ask her that, does she often hug men?This is also the first time for her to hug Xu Siheng, okay, if Xu Siheng hadn't been drunk, she wouldn't have hugged him.

"Throw him into the outer hall, don't allow him to lie in it, not in the future." Que Yu glanced at Xu Siheng and said.

"……why?"

"It's blocking my eyes." Que Yu said lazily.

"Master Que, this room seems to be mine, and the bed you are lying on is also my bed."

This person is too domineering, this seems to be her room.And he can come in, why can't Xu Siheng come in.

Que Yu wasn't angry when he heard the words, but he just had a vicious smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Chenyue Tower is also mine, and you are still sleeping in Chenyue Tower. If you don't throw him out, next time you go to Chenyue Tower, I will throw him away." You throw it out."

Qi Ze: "..."

This man is still as stingy as ever, Chenyue Tower is the largest restaurant in Southern Chu, and many court officials will go to Chenyue Tower to socialize, so she will definitely go there in the future.

If Que Yu threw her out, it would really be an anecdote in the world.A servant of the Ministry of War was thrown on the road in public, and it was embarrassing to think about it.She can't afford to lose this person, so it's better to wrong Xu Siheng.There is also a small bed in the outer hall for people to rest, Xu Siheng should lie there.

Qi Ze obediently turned around without saying a word, put Xu Siheng in the outer hall, and covered him with the quilt.

When he returned to the inner hall, Que Yu also sat on the chair beside the tea table, picked up a teacup and poured himself a cup of tea as if he had entered his own home.

After taking a sip, Que Yu said in distaste, "What kind of tea is this? It tastes almost cold."

This man's life has always been exquisite, which can be seen from the hidden private room in Chenyue Tower.The furniture is made of high-quality golden nanmu, and the tea leaves are all very precious tribute teas.Only the royals can afford to drink it, and other officials in the court want to drink it only as a reward from the court.

The Que family is so outstanding, naturally the royal rewards continue.And every time the Que family went to the border to fight, they would bring back some special products that Nanchu did not have.Que Yu should have gotten used to rare things by now.

Although the Qi family is also an aristocratic family, it is still not comparable to the Que family, and the things they use are naturally not as good as the Que family.

Qi Ze ignored Que Yu and sat on the opposite chair, stared at the person opposite him and said, "What's the matter, Young Master Que?"

There is absolutely no good thing for this guy to come here, and the situation in the DPRK and China is unclear. It is not yet clear whether it is an enemy or a friend, so it is better to be careful.

Que Yu didn't care about Qi Ze's attitude either. After a chuckle, he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms and threw it to Qi Ze, saying casually, "This is the sober medicine. I got it from Meng Yanxi, and it said it worked well. .”

Hangover medicine?
Qi Ze looked at the delicate blue-and-white porcelain bottle in his hand, and after opening the lid, a strong cool smell came out, and he felt refreshed both physically and mentally.

But what did Que Yu give her sober medicine?Could it be that something happened in Chenyue Tower at that time?

"Master Que, did I do anything while drunk in Chenyue Building?" Qi Ze asked doubtfully.

Que Yu pursed his lips lightly when he heard the words, looked up at Qi Ze and asked frivolously, "You... want to know?"

Qi Ze: "...No, I don't want to know."

Why did Que Yu ask her that?She woke up and found nothing wrong, and picked up a dagger.Besides, Que Yu didn't make any big moves in court, so she probably didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, so she didn't suffer a loss.Anyway, this man knows everything, and she is the same no matter what she says.

Just as Qi Ze lowered his head to think, Que Yu suddenly said, "You have nothing to blame about Su Wanqing. She was able to come out of Fang's house, and even if she died in the end, she was redeemed. This is the best thing for her. Good ending."

Qi Ze looked up at the person opposite in surprise, Que Yu was trying to comfort her?It turns out that this guy can also comfort people.But how did he know that she was blaming herself? Did he come when she was talking to Xu Siheng?He has always been elusive, and his internal strength is higher than hers, so she can't sense him, so he should have come a long time ago.

But what he said was also right. If Su Wanqing could choose again, I believe she would choose to take the blame instead of staying in the small backyard.She died in the sea of ​​irises this time, and she was redeemed, and her burial as a man was also a compensation for her life, and it was also the best ending for her.

"Qi Ze, I believe you have seen it too. Su Wanqing was accused by everyone for that unwarranted murder, and she was slandered and abused because she was a woman. This world is too small to hide any secrets. You won't be able to hide your identity as a woman for long. What will happen to you at that time, you know better than me. What should you do if one day your womanhood is revealed to the public?" Que Yu stared at Qi Ze and asked earnestly.

What should she do?In fact, she had thought about this question before.

As Que Yu said, her identity as a woman will be discovered soon.No matter how much she pretends, she is not a man after all, and she is destined not to live like an ordinary man.

Su Wanqing was already scolded bloody by people just for going out to take the blame. Up to now, those words that slander women and can't let women enter the court are still spreading.

If she was found out, it would not be as simple as going to jail.What awaits her is the hanging for the crime of deceiving the emperor, the punishment for violating the morals of the world, and the disdain and abuse of everyone.

She was the first case of a woman disguised as a man to enter the court to participate in politics, and she was also an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War.In order to deter the people of the world, I am afraid that she will be dragged to the execution ground for public execution, and she will have to endure the disdainful eyes and slanderous words of the audience.

And she couldn't escape, and couldn't avoid it.

"Master Que, I know what you said very well, and I also know what I will endure in the future." Qi Ze clenched his fists unconsciously, and said in a calm voice, "Fate is the best at joking, it will always play tricks from above. All. There are those who delusional to climb on the back of fate, struggling hard to hold on to all the hope that exists, but fate will keep waving to try to throw you off, and get the final victory. You are thrown hard, fell You'd be smashed to pieces and bloody, and people on the side of the road would point at you mockingly and say, 'Look, that's an idiot.'”

"But even so, I am not willing to give up everything I have now, everything I have come so hard to get. I would rather die in the end under the scolding of everyone than let go easily." The woman's eyes are firm, "Since this world Given me the identity of a man, it is not for me to give up lightly, and I will not stop there."

Que Yu didn't seem to expect Qi Ze to say that. After looking at the woman in a daze for a moment, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with a smile, "Qi Ze, I can always see surprises from you. Although your actions are really stupid, but... ..." The man's eyes were full of smiles, "This is you."

When encountering something that has already been doomed, it is not to retreat bravely, but to choose to ride the wind and waves.

Little girl, you are still so funny.
