Book with Emperor

Chapter 231 Secret Letter
Lan Yuan was naturally very happy to see Xiao Sheng come back, but without saying a word, his eyes were already red when he looked at him.

Xiao Sheng was dressed in dust, and when he saw her, he rarely showed a childish look of helplessness, "...Sister?"

Lan Yuan pursed her lips in response, looked him up and down again, and then asked, "Aren't you hurt?"

Xiao Sheng shook his head, suddenly remembered something, looked behind him, only to find that Qin Guanyue had already left.

"My lord said I'm tired, so I'm going to rest." Miaomiao said.

……

Qin Guanyue was indeed tired, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down, obviously she was in a deep sleep, but she wanted to have so many dreams that made her unable to breathe.

It was dusk when she woke up, and the room was gloomy and gloomy. For a moment, her already blurred vision thought she was still in a dream.

Fortunately Miaomiao heard her get out of bed, and brought in a candlestick, along with a bowl of soup.

"Are you awake?"

"Ah."

After Qin Guanyue drank the soup, her eyes fell on a few mooncakes beside her, and she paused.

"Hasn't Mid-Autumn Festival passed?"

"It was sent from the palace. It is said that no one had a good Mid-Autumn Festival this year. My lord was still in prison. I wronged my lord, so I specially sent some moon cakes, as well as many precious medicinal materials and supplements. Aya There are also a lot of Luo silk and satin, I put them in the warehouse."

After Miaomiao finished speaking, seeing that she was silent, she was still staring at the mooncake in a daze, and asked again, "Does your lord not want to eat it? There is golden ham and rice porridge simmering in the kitchen, let me get you a bowl?"

"no need."

Qin Guanyue picked up the mooncake and took a bite, then turned and walked out the door.

Miaomiao hurriedly followed, "Where are you going, sir?"

Qin Guanyue looked up at the looming full moon in the dark sky, "Appreciate the moon."

The grapes in the yard had all been picked, leaving only a few shriveled and bad grapes, but Jin Suanzi was really interested in it, and was watering it with all his heart with a water ladle.

"My lord is back?"

"Ah."

Qin Guanyue watched him finish watering before saying, "Bring me a hoe."

The golden operator was a little puzzled, so he went to get it anyway.

Qin Guanyue took the small hoe and squatted under the sycamore tree, digging out the wine buried earlier.

There was only one jug of wine buried that day, she opened the paper seal and smelled it, "The fragrance is strong, not bad."

Jin Suanzi asked suspiciously, "Didn't your lord say that this jar of wine is for giving away?"

"I can't give it away." Qin Guanyue poured a glass of wine into the glass and pushed it to him, "The man has left, so I probably won't want this wine."

Jin Suanzi glanced at her, and said with a smile, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, and to be able to drink the first sip of wine brewed by the dignified master, am I the No. 1 in the world?"

Then he toasted her, "Sir, this cup is toast to you, take my golden fortune teller soaring into the sky."

Qin Guanyue raised the corners of her mouth and held up her wine glass to salute, "Mr. is an extraordinary man."

The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their heads and drank the wine.

The cold wine entered the throat, turned into a burning flame in an instant, scalding the chest.

Qin Guanyue clutched her chest and took a few deep breaths.

Jin Suanzi was a little worried, "Are you alright, sir?"

Qin Guanyue shook her head and poured another glass, "It's okay, it's just that I haven't drank much before, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it for a while, and it should be fine after I get used to it."

Jin Suanzi didn't think much about it, but remembered that he had never seen Qin Guanyue drink alcohol. He heard from Miaomiao that even at the imperial banquet, Qin Guanyue used tea instead of wine, and His Majesty also acquiesced in it. In the whole Daxi, there is only this one in front of him.

"Your Excellency, this time you put yourself to death and come back to life. It's really wise and resourceful, but it's also too risky. If there is even the slightest mistake, it will be forever." Jin Suanzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I've always acted like this, I'm used to it." Qin Guanyue smiled, her tone dragging a bit.

"It can't be broken without standing, my lord is very brave." Jin Suanzi said happily, and drank another glass of wine, not forgetting to praise the taste of the wine.

Qin Guanyue took a sip of the wine, but felt her chest was burning badly, as if a flame had spread all the way to her throat, and the fishy sweetness mixed with the smell of iron gushed out.

A few drops of bright red blood dripped into the turbid wine, and then spilled on the stone table.

Qin Guanyue was startled, looked down at the red wine in the glass, didn't realize it for a while?

"grown ups?!"

In the ear was Jin Suanzi's panicked cry, but it seemed that it was far away, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

There are many noises in my ears, like sharp arrows piercing my head, and there are bursts of buzzing.There was a vague figure in front of him, and then he fell into darkness.

"My lord! My lord!"

……

As soon as Lan Yuan pulled out the silver needle from Xiao Sheng's wrist, Miao Miao's crying voice sounded outside the house.

She quickly opened the door, "What's wrong?"

"My lord vomited blood and passed out!" Miaomiao cried and pulled her outside, "Hurry up and save her!"

Lan Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately went back to the room to pack up the medicine box, while Xiao Sheng had already rushed towards Miao Miao's finger.

The autumn evening was extremely short, and the cold wind also made many pedestrians on the street disappear. The old housekeeper took a look at the sky, turned around and closed the door.

Not long after the door closed, a man wearing a bamboo hat came and knocked on the door.

The old butler inside the door paused, turned around to open the door, and suddenly heard the shout behind him, "Your Excellency vomited blood and fainted", he couldn't help being startled, and he didn't bother to open the door, so he hurried to
The man knocked lightly on the rich door, but no one answered, instead he attracted the attention of the patrolling guards not far away.The man pressed down on the bamboo hat, and quickly knocked on the door twice, but still no one answered.

The guard not far away had already walked over, the man pursed his lips, and immediately turned and left.

"Stop! That man in the hat in front, what are you doing knocking on the door of the Emperor's Mansion?" the guard yelled.

The man didn't go forward, stood still and lowered his head, and replied in the dialect of the suburbs of Beijing, "I heard that the Emperor's Mansion has recently recruited people, so I wanted to come and ask if there is any carpentry work..."

"Go, go, whatever place the Emperor's Mansion is, you can enter it casually! If there is a shortage of people in the mansion, the Imperial Palace will send someone. Is it your turn? Let me go quickly, and don't disturb the purity of the Emperor's Master!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The man lowered his head again and again, and then hurried out of the city gate. The guard turned and left when he saw that he was far away.

As dusk fell, the city gates slowly closed.In the woods not far away, the man wearing a bamboo hat saw this scene, whistled and called a white pigeon, tied a thin bamboo tube to the bird's leg, and let it fly into the sky.

The man finally took a look at the closed city gate, turned around and entered the forest.

A hundred miles away, in a valley outside Yicheng, Lei Yu took off the bamboo tube from the pigeon's leg, took out the secret letter inside and looked at it, he couldn't help hesitating.

"How to say."

A voice came from behind, Lei Yu was startled, and squeezed the secret letter between his fingers.

Cen Wu approached with her arms folded and reached out to him, Lei Yu had no choice but to hand over the secret letter.

Cen Wu unfolded the secret letter and looked at it, his expression froze slightly, then suddenly tore up the secret letter and threw it into the stream, the stream soon soaked the shredded paper and flowed into the distance.

Lei Yu asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"The young master who is the most important right now has returned to Yongzhou safely, and the rest is not important."

"The content of the secret letter..."

"Deputy General Lei!" Cen Wu looked at him coldly, "Do you still remember your duties?"

"I remember, but I did not violate my duty. The young master should know the situation in the capital." Lei Yu said urgently, "Lou Binghe has been imprisoned, the covenant between Sheyu and Yongzhou has not been exposed, Miss Qin has not betrayed us!"

"There is no distinction between good and evil on the battlefield, there are only positions, and so is the struggle for power. It doesn't matter whether Qin Guanyue betrayed or not, what matters is her position. She is a member of Qin Tianjian, and she is destined not to stand on Yongzhou's side. against us."

"But she almost died in order to save the princess, the young master must know."

"so what?"

"The young master likes her!"

"Lei Yu."

Cen Wu stared at him fixedly, "Remember, Qin Guanyue killed the whole family of the Yue clan, and there is an irreconcilable hatred between the young master and her, and nothing can offset this."

Lei Yu was silent.

"Lou Binghe has always been tough on Qin Guanyue. Qin Guanyue got rid of him not necessarily for us, but maybe for her own sake, but this is a good thing for us after all, and the young master will know about it later. As for Qin Guanyue Don't bring up the matter of the moon in the future."

Cen Wu said in a deep voice, "The truth about the Yue clan's extermination didn't stop the young master from leaving everything behind and returning to the capital. Qin Guanyue had too much influence on the young master. The Yue clan only has this bloodline left. I don't want to see this bloodline again." something happens."

"...Understood." Lei Yu said.

When Yue Wentian walked to the stream to fetch water, he saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Lei Yu looked away, "The scenery is not bad."

Cen Wu continued, "Bypassing Bailuya, we will reach the border of Yongzhou."

"Ah."

Yue Wentian looked up at the distant mountains, "Let's go home."
