Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 44 Rainy Night
The emperor waved his hand and let people go down.

Seeing Ji Wuyan disappear at the door, he turned his head to look at Ning Xiuyuan, propping his chin a little unceremoniously, "That girl... has extremely beautiful eyes."

Ning Xiu stayed out of his way, heard that he was just sipping tea from a teacup, and asked indifferently, "Is that so... I didn't pay attention."

Between the looks, nothing could be discerned.

The emperor snorted, this kid has been mature since he was a child, and now he hides it even more deeply. What he doesn't want you to see is that you can't see even if you stare out your own eyeballs.

"That's all..." The emperor waved his hand, too lazy to talk to him, thought for a while, and said, "Is it really from that family? A side branch?"

Ning Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, and said vaguely, "Not necessarily."

"Not necessarily? It can't be a direct line of the Ji family, right? Then this identity will be heavy..." the emperor murmured, but felt that it was impossible.

According to the news received by the royal family, the direct line of the Ji family has only one son and one daughter. The daughter married the Shangguan family and gave birth to Shangguan Yuan and Shangguan Chu. The old lady's son is still unmarried. The direct line...is no longer there.

"I heard that Shangguan Chu changed his surname a few years ago and adopted Ji's family. He can be regarded as a direct descendant, but the old lady doesn't like it. The family has always favored women over men... If it weren't for that, Li Yuqi wouldn't have listened." After hearing some rumors, I thought about marrying Shangguan's daughter, do you really think I don't know about his little bastards?"

"Now I only know that it should be from Ji's family. It's just that there is no conclusion yet on which one it is." Ning Xiuyuan put his teacup back and leaned back in his chair, listening to the melodious silk and bamboo music downstairs. Compared with before, there is always something missing.

Ji Wuyan's qin...is indeed rare.

At that time, when he went to Bai's house, he was invited many times by the old lady, and secondly, he wanted to find clues from the old lady.Mrs. Bai is from the Ji clan in Saibei, and the Ji family is the "royal family" of the Ji clan. It's no secret that Mrs. Bai and the Ji family have grown up as children.

It's just that the gains are not great.

Ning Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, thinking about Ji Wuyan's "sister" at that time... Frowning slightly, the emperor murmured again, "Speaking of those eyes, I feel like I've seen them somewhere before."

Ning Xiuyuan's fingertips on the armrest trembled slightly, and then he said calmly, "It's getting late, you should go back to the palace."

"It's rare to come out..."

"If those old men find out that Weichen brought you out again, the memorial to impeach Weichen will be suppressed in your imperial study again."

"Okay, it's a disappointment... have another drink, and leave after drinking."

……

On a rainy night, the moonlight is dim.

In the room without candles, even the five fingers you can see when you reach out your hand seem to be covered in a hazy layer of smoke and mist.

There are three sparks in front of me, indistinct.

Throwing the paper money into the copper basin, Ji Wuyan took the wine jar at the side in the dark, opened it, lowered his head and smelled it, and covered his eyelashes to cover the devastation.

A completely different emotion than before.

Ji Wuyan blinked vigorously, with the corners of her mouth drooping slightly, she silently poured the wine from the jar into the glass cup in front of her, and called out softly, as if in a dream, "Sister...do you like it?" apricot flower brew."

You said, Chu Jun doesn't like apricot blossoms, so he doesn't like apricot blossom brew. You miss this mouthful of apricot blossom brew the most in the East Palace.Sister, I'm sorry... I'm late, I just don't know, are you still there?

"Gucuo said that after death, the soul will linger in her favorite place for a long, long time... You once said that you like red walls and glazed tiles the most, you like to stand on the high city wall and accept the worship of all people, you said you like it I found a man, that man is handsome and handsome, and most importantly, he can lead you to the top of power."

Ji Wuyan picked up the glass cup in front of her, and slowly poured the apricot flower wine in the cup on the ground, watching the wine slowly seep into the cracks between the bricks and stones and disappear, she blinked again. Tears slowly slipped down the end of the eyes...

She poured another glass of wine, raised her head and drank it down.

She held an empty wine glass and smiled idiotically, but that smile was much uglier than crying, and her whisper was choked with sobs, "Sister... I hope your soul is still here, at least it proves that you have never regretted it until the end , but I don't want you still here, I don't like it very much..."

The wind blowing in from the window was wet with water vapor.

The rain dripped on the banana leaves.

It was raining heavily.

The paper money in the copper basin was gradually extinguished, and she poured all the remaining apricot blossom wine in front of her face, "Sister, I met the emperor today... I don't know if he knew about your affairs, or even participated, but in the end , since you have entered the royal family, he also accepts you as 'Father Emperor', but he can't protect you, so there is always some responsibility."

"Sister... I testified that you were a virgin until your death. It can be seen that the vows of the mountain alliance at that time were probably false. If it is finally proved that the cause of your death was really written by the royal family, then let alone the majestic palace. It is your resting place now, and I am going to break into it too."

I want the world to... mourn for you.

There were only ashes left on the paper money, Ji Wuyan got up slowly, ignoring the dusty clothes, just staring at the ground wet with wine, after a while, he turned and walked out of the room.

The rain is fine and dense, like the autumn rain in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very lingering, and it hits the hair and face, and it is icy cold.

Ji Wuyan looked up at the sky, his eyes wide open, stubborn and stubborn.In the eyes that were full of affection in the past, there is a loneliness that is cooler than this night rain.

"Girl." Ziqiu came up and took the other party's rain-stained cloak, knowing that she must be in a bad mood at the moment, so he changed the subject to distract attention, "The ancient house just came to find the girl and said that the place outside the city The house has almost been repaired, when you will be free, go over and have a look, if you are satisfied, we can move there."

Ji Wuyan nodded, "I've always been relieved of his errands, so I don't need to go to see them. You can make arrangements in the next two days and move in directly. Count the days, those... are coming soon."

Ziqiu nodded, "Okay. Girl, the hot water is ready. You can take a bath and change clothes first, and go to rest early. The rain today... makes me feel a little depressed."

"What about Silent Wind?"

"That boy followed Cen Yan to the house outside the city this morning. If he said that the place was big and beautiful, he would live there with the ancient house."

Ji Wuyan lowered her eyebrows and smiled warmly, "On weekdays, girls are girls, but now that they see the mansion, girls can't even care about it..."

It seems to be delicious, very interesting.Only Jifeng could make the girl so childish, Ziqiu pursed her lips and snickered.
